    I live in the same country, South Africa, as this amazing singer. I'm so proud of that. This small country on the bottom tip of Africa with all its heartache, pain, different cultures, dreams and hopes.

    This is simply outstanding, out of this world. The music composition look like by some great symphony orchestra, and the recording engineers have done marvellous work. I had to listen to it 8 times on repeat mode before shutting down my system. More from this guy welcome!
