Singer Thabsie has a new EP and she has collaborated with award-winning rapper Emtee on the opening track.

It's been nine years since singer and songwriter Thabsie dropped her debut album "Songs About You," and now she is back with a new EP, "While You Wait".

A fitting title, "While You Wait," lays the foundation for Thabsie's soon-to-come sophomore album, under her independent label Song Bird Entertainment.

Known to be very intentional about her music releases and never rushing to release music, Thabsie explained to IOL that she doesn't think the timing ever feels right, but you just have to take the leap and hope everything will work out.

"I missed my first love, which is music, so the time could not be better."
