Thndo – Sounds of Oz

Many of us met Thndo when she appeared on The Voice earlier this year. However, I didn’t feel like I really got to know her musically until the release of her Life in Colour EP a few months back. She’s continuing to reintroduce herself to audiences with the release of her new single “Fall”. It’s an utterly captivating piece of neo-soul that perfectly showcases the creativity and vocal chops of this exceptional artist.

“I’m really excited for people to hear my latest offering,” she enthused. “I completely wore my heart on my sleeve with this track, and said all the things I felt I couldn’t when I was still in my last relationship.”

I let you know about thndo’s The Reintroduction tour months ago, but if it slipped your mind you can still get tickets to the remaining dates.

After capturing the country’s attention in this year’s season of The Voice, Thndo is ready to reintroduce yourself. As Thando, she wowed the country with her soulful vocals and radiant spirits. But there’s only so much of yourself that you can show when you’re singing other people’s songs. Now with a new moniker, Thndo is ready to let you all know what she’s all about.

If you want to get to know Thndo, I suggest listening to her recently released EP, Life in Colour. It’s a thoughtful, genre-bending collection of songs that share Thndo’s experiences growing up black in Australia. She doesn’t shy away from highlighting her struggles with displacement and discrimination through tracks like “Gag Order” and “Good Ones”. But there’s a joy too as she celebrates her identity in songs like “Rewrite It” and “Numb”. She effortlessly combines the soul we love with elements of hip hop and afrobeat. It’s really great stuff.

6 October 2022 – Chapel off Chapel, Naarm/Melbourne
