TWEEPS ARE NOT IMPRESSED WITH AMAPIANO COLLABORATION Tweeps did not hesitate to express their disappointment about Elaine and Focalistic's amapiano collaboration. One tweep thought the singer would be an international star after signing a record deal with Columbia Records.
America ruined [her] brand, she was sooo talented, wrote one tweep.

WHAT IS ELAINE UP TO? After her 2019 EP, Elements, topped music charts across the globe, Elaine signed to Columbia Records, joining the likes of Harry Styles, Lil Nas X, Adele and more. This year, she released three singles, Shine, Deja Vu and Fading Away. Earlier this month, she was selected as Spotify's EQUAL Africa artist for October.
It feels great to be a woman and it feels great to be in this industry. Moreover, I'm grateful to the EQUAL Africa program for amplifying the voices of game-changing African women, she said of the achievement.
