Amanda Black has been tweeting about Phoenix, taxi violence and many other issues way before her album release, check her TL or continue with the lies. People are too quick to tell artists to be quiet, when they're quiet, it's also a problem.

Ever listened to a beautiful new single, only to feel like you've heard it somewhere before? Is it my brain playing trick on me? Or luchuku?... but the "Uthando" song by Soa Mattrix & Soulful G, the melody is fundamentally identical to that of Ami Faku and De Mogul SA...
