Answering the call for new music

Now, after 13 years away from the R&B genre he dominated, Loyiso has found his way back and answered his fans’ call for new music.

The new single “Do It Again” features Gigi Lamayne and the song was co-written by Jimmy Nevis. The song is all about reuniting with a former lover and showcases the singer’s smooth yet commanding vocal prowess.

He accredits his ability to manage the demands of his executive role and actively pursue his passion for music to the strength of his team, both at work and at home.

Along with the release of this single, he has stated he plans to release a new full length album later in 2023 and share new gospel singles as well.
