Renowned musician Thabsie has returned with a new single titled Same Place after a four-year break.
The song is produced by Axdy Beats and Melar Beats and co-written by June and Quan.
Speaking to The Citizen, the singer opened up about how the Covid-19 pandemic allowed her to explore new creative directions, ultimately fuelling a fresh start in her music career.
“I initially took a break because of Covid, but I realised it was a great opportunity to expand my creative horizons and focus on content creation,” she said.
During her time away, the African Queen hitmaker stayed active in the studio, honing her skills and deepening her passion for music.
“The break really made me hungry to grow as a musician. It feels great to be back! The stage feels like home.”
Same Place, inspired by Thabsie’s personal struggles, was officially released a few days ago on 5 November.
She explained that the song emphasises the power of resilience and overcoming challenges.
“I had so much self-doubt that kept me out of the music space for years. But this song is about resilience and overcoming, and that really resonates with me.”
