5MM NEW MUSIC FRIDAY WITH LANGA MAVUSO

It’s New Music Friday, and our next guest is celebrating release day with us! Johannesburg-born singer and songwriter Langa Mavuso has given us songs like “Sunday Blues,” “Mvula” and “Love Lost,” pairing that unmistakable voice with some very honest storytelling. Today, 16 October, he releases Therapy: The Other Side (Deluxe), expanding his second album with new songs and collaborations, following September’s single, “I Choose You.” The original album explored love, loss, faith and healing. Now we get to hear what he still wanted to say.
