Back with a bang

Tequila, one of Namibia's most gifted singers has been away from the scene for a while but now, she is back and is ready to rock and roll.
June Shimuoshili
The all-genre artist who was 2012 NAMA Female Artist of the Year and hit maker of Thando Lwam, has taken a break from the industry after her album Destiny the Lioness in 2014. Back stronger and better with a new production team, Tequila will surely put the 'm' back in music with her new projects. This week she chats to tjil in a one-on-one interview about her latest single and what her fans can expect from her.

tjil (T): You have been out of the scene for a while; what were you up to?

Tequila (TQ): I took some personal time to deal with some personal issues. It was hard; I thank God for getting me through. That's all I can say for now and that I am here for good.

T: We saw that you were featured on a couple of songs prior to your single, how has that enhanced your singing career?

TQ: It's always a learning experience to work with other artists. This is because they inspire me so much. It also makes us artists have a united force and share our skills.

T: You have recently signed with GMP. How will this impact your career? When will we hear more from you, are you working on an album?

TQ: GMP has taught me a lot about discipline, team work and hard work. We have been in studio all these months and I am proud of what we have produced so far. This new single is just a taste of the great work we have produced. I know people will be surprised and happy. You guys have no idea what is in store for you. We pride ourselves on quality and we are busy wrapping up. It will drop in the next few months. We worked with the best to ensure this will be an album that will stand out from the previous one.

T: Let's talk about your latest single, why did you choose that as your comeback solo track? It's a love song, are you hinting at something?

TQ: We sat down as a team and we felt 'Still in Love' was a great song to start with. I personally think it is a great introduction to the new upcoming album Djuulufi. I want to tell my fans that I still love and appreciate them even though so much time has passed since I last released anything. So I am simply hinting on loving my fans. We have so many plans in motion I'm so excited. All I can say is wait and enjoy the fireworks because the best is still to come.

T: Where can your fans get the song?

TQ: the song will be available for streaming on namibianmusic.com
