DBS Roadshow winner Wada releases EP

In an interview, with Arts&Culture, she said she has recorded a self-titled Extended Play (EP) called Oratile. She explained that the title name comes from her name Wada, a Kalanga name which means Oratile. The EP is scheduled for release on Valentine’s Day (February 14, 29025). She added that the leading single from the EP titled More would be released before the end of January.

“This EP was produced in June 2024, courtesy of DJ Fresh and the DBS Roadshow. We spent a week writing, producing and recording the work here in Gaborone. The whole concept and message around the EP is ‘Love’ in its entirety, the purity, the beauty and the pain of it all. I did not collaborate with anyone for this first project. I wanted to just really introduce my sound in its purest form,” she said confidently. She further explained that she had two special people who made a small but meaningful appearance in the project being her grandmother and long-time Jamaican friend, Dwayne Wellington. Wada said music has always been an innate calling for her. As such, she also said she had no choice because music always circled back to her.
