Cape Table Reviews: Zenathi Femela reviews Soul T's Thembekile
It’s taken 4 hours for me to actually write this post because after I listened to Soul T’s Thembekile, felt the need to write this post, not because the album influenced me to write this post but because it pushed me to share my honest opinions based on the album and how the album re energizes the love I have for his music while it took me 5 days to actually share my honest opinions because it has captured my attention. Honestly speaking, I have not listened to Soul T for the past 3 or 4 months because I listened to Rainy Days by himself, CTT Beats and O’Hara after I shared an ear to his latest album and that’s what baffles me the most because the single was released ahead the official release of ‘Thembekile’. As I stated on my yesterday’s facebook post, regarding Soul T’s Thembekile, that I have no preconceived views of what he should further rap because what I love about him is how he can delve into the matters of our realities and what he often touches base on actually compliments our reality though they compliment our reality in a bad way.
When he touches base on how systematic the township is, I relate with that because he tends to addresses numerous issues that unfolds infront of my eyes as my small town, Villiersdorp, has permisioned itself to bring in an element of how systematic our township is and that’s what I love about Soul T and he can easily reference that on his album. You are then moved in lines where Sou T can integrate pleasant and unpleasant times in his raps as he successfully did on Superstar and Finally because his pleasant times are driven by unpleasant times. He frequently went into detail to tell us that he is not lonely to what he touched based on his album.
