Swart Baster teases fans with lead single off upcoming album
Namibian performing artist Swart Baster has made a resounding comeback with the release of his lead single ‘Hartloos’ from his upcoming album.
In an interview with tjil, Swart Baster – real name Allen Jonathan - shared that with this new project 'Expandable', he aims to make a statement by intentionally collaborating with young and upcoming artists, providing them with a platform to showcase their remarkable talents.
“This forthcoming album marks a significant milestone for me, as it will be my ninth studio album, thus I am demonstrating my longevity and artistic evolution over the years,” he said.
Known for his captivating Afro-pop and Afro-jive style, he has always pushed the boundaries of creativity, experimenting with various languages and infusing his unique flair into his compositions.
“By purposefully featuring young and rising artists on the album, I am demonstrating my commitment to fostering the growth of the next generation of talent, providing them with an invaluable platform to showcase their abilities.”
