    ...you know I remember around 2017 or so and I couldn't easily find 'Remember Love' as a result i didn’t know she had other music 😢 ....God fights for us...nothing beats surrendering and letting God be!!!

    Nothende's collab with Pro and Kabomo is unmatched. Not talking about her solo albums! What a rare talent. I think I've got beyond being a massive Fan to having a crush on her. And am saying this with a great humanity and respect! Remember love, living the way I should and colour of you remains my all time classic ❤ I love you so much Nothende and hoping to jam to your beautiful latest sound soon. Allow the process to heal you. They may steal and break your heart. But the one thing they cannot temper with, it's what God has blessed you with Talent 🙏❤
