Thandiswa Mazwai sports a stunning opener to her second release, her virtuoso singing backed by a capella voices repeating a stark pair of harmonies. In South Africa the album sold more than half a million copies, and for an international audience there’s plenty to enjoy about her range, strength and timbre variety. This collection of her own songs builds outwards from its bold beginning, adding layers of style and tradition from both sides of the Atlantic and the Equator. Robert Maycock
