Simmy Drops New Single 'Emakhaya' Ahead of Highly-Anticipated Sophomore Album
Simmy has recently dropped a new banger titled 'Emakhaya' and it is the perfect way to usher in the weekend.
South African songstress, Simmy, certainly shows no signs of slowing down. The Afro-house princess released her latest single titled "Emakhaya" featuring Da Capo and Sun El Musician earlier today. The single comes ahead of her highly-anticipated sophomore album Tugela Fairy- Made of Stars which is set to drop next month sometime. The project will follow her wildly successful debut album Tugela Fairy which was released in 2018. Simmy announced the release of "Emakhaya" on Twitter and fans are already loving it.
