Lesotho-born artist Thabelang Leluma, popularly known as Bobby Stringz, has announced the upcoming release of his latest single, Recording, set to drop in March this year.
In an exclusive chat with Newsday, Stringz shared his excitement about the project and offered insight into the inspiration behind the track.
Currently based in Pretoria, South Africa, Bobby Stringz has been working closely with renowned producer Kinglee, known for collaborations with some of South Africa and Lesotho’s top artists, including Malome Vector, Wave Rhyder, Lizwi Wokuqala, Mawelele, and even the celebrated duo Blaq Diamond.
Although a specific release date is yet to be confirmed, Stringz assured fans that the song is ready and highly anticipated.
“I am about to drop a song called Recording,” he revealed.
Describing the track as a light-hearted and fun take on love, he explained that his inspiration stemmed from wanting to create something fresh for Valentine’s Day.
“Most love songs tend to be deep and emotional, but I wanted to make something fun, something that captures the playful side of love,” he said.
Stringz delved into the song’s theme, touching on the unpredictability of modern relationships.
“Love is a risk these days. Relationships don’t always last, but that doesn’t mean we can’t enjoy the moments we have. Recording is about embracing love while it lasts,” he added.
Looking ahead, Stringz expressed his desire to evolve his sound for a global audience.
“This year, I really want to tap into pop culture. It’s not just Afro-pop—it’s a fusion, more versatile and internationally appealing,” he explained.
Recording is a solo project, produced by Kinglee, and marks another step forward in Stringz’s artistic journey. While optimistic about the future, he acknowledged the challenges of music delays and audience reach.
“I feel like this year, we’re getting it right,” he said, hopeful that 2025 will bring greater recognition and success.
Fans of Bobby Stringz should keep an eye out for Recording when it drops this March.
