ANTICIPATE more sing alongs, its gonna be awesome, quipped the US award winning R&B star Anthony Hamilton.
He was addressing media corps at the briefing on Thursday, in Sandton.
It was brought to my attention the crooner has been in the country since last Saturday, touring the province of Gauteng and familiarising himself with signature products it has to offer.
Hamilton is part of the Women’s Day Celebration on August 9 at Wanderers Stadium.
He will be sharing the stage with top acts Joe, Zonke, Sjava and Vusi Nova.
“Me coming to SA always has fond memories and its like my second home,” he told this reporter.
This country has a lot to offer, my man, hence whenever I get call to visit, I drop everything because the people show me love and authenticity. It gives me goosebumps,” says Anthony, who was baptised with African name ‘Lehlohonolo or Hloni’ at the press junket.
In the company of Vusi Nova, aside him, the hitmaker promised they will be collaborating soon, including with Zonke, whom she met in 2009 and respect.
‘We will be working on two songs and from then on, we shall see what the world has to offer, he confirmed.
On the show, ‘Hloni’ promised as always, an electrifying performance and lots of sing-alongs because I will belt out popular tracks that my fellow South African’s love, he said.
“Fans should also expect a song we did together with Vusi- called Black Sweater. It’s an R&B song. Come Saturday, its gonna be lit…”
To unwind the (65) visited the Rhino and Lion Nature reserve, were him and entourage had a brush with a huge Lion, as it rattled their car cage, much to the excitement and agony to some!
