Idols darling Lucia takes on life
By Nyasha Themba Dhliwayo
With her soul-filled voice, Lucia Nombulelo Jakeni sang her way into South African's hearts during the twelfth edition of Idols SA held in 2016.
The usually frosty judge Randall, warmed up a few degrees, describing her in one episode as "the most sophisticated performer" as well as saying that there was a post-Idols career for the statuesque vocalist.
Not to be left out, Somizi gushed that Lucia "deserved to conquer the industry" after she left Idols SA.
As fate would have it, Lucia was eliminated, but her voice remained stuck in many music-lovers ears.
After being wowed by "Ndomelele" her rousing track from Sculptured Music's 2017 Breath Again album, we tracked Lucia down to see how her career and life has fared since her Idols SA stint.

So very little has been written about the songstress since that illustrious number 2 vocalist rating by Traxsource. Infact not a lot of media houses picked up on it. So in a way that propelled the muso into a self imposed "underground" exile.

The
simply amazing Simmy
By
Nyasha Themba Dhliwayo
She is the real
deal and if/when the land is "returned", we are willing to bet some
substantial hectares of it, that Simphiwe Nhlangulela will make a crater-sized
impact on the musical landscape.
Known to you and I simply as Simmy,
the sublime voice behind captivating tracks such as "Ubala",
"Sonini" and "Ntaba Ezikude", this Neo-Soul/Neo-Folk musician
is fast establishing herself as a "love at first listen" type of
artist.
Instrumental in this journey has
been "man-of-the-moment", producer/DJ Sun EL Musician.
His Midas touch has been evident in
the aforementioned tracks that are currently steamrollering their way through
local charts and playlists.
Sun EL Musician also happens to be
Simmy's label boss as she is currently signed to his ELWorldMusic record
company.
With barely constrained infatuation,
we recently had the pleasure to share a few words with the beautiful songbird.
