The return of Majaivane
Thursday, October 23, 2008
Fans of Vee will most certainly remember Majaivane as the nimble-footed dancer, who together with Kagiso 'Mshinto' Segokgo, was with Vee when he released his arguably best album-ever Kasi Angels. Early last year, there was an exodus from Vee's stable Black Money Makers and Majaivane was among those who left. While there is no doubt that during his dancing career the artist was regarded as one of the best dancers around, however, it might take time before the youthful lad from Mochudi wins fans as a recording artist.
The Return is 'okay' though Majaivane could have done much better. One of the things that he should have done as a 'newcomer' is to have used a good producer who understands the kwaito genre well. There is no doubt that it takes both good talent and production skills to come out with a hit album. The artist has been in the industry long enough to know its demands and he should have used his experience to achieve greater things. Majaivane has a rasping voice that suits the style well and given his dancing skills he can easily succeed as an artist.
