    Soulful singer sends fresh vibes with EP

    From openly singing about his sexuality and religion, the award-winning Nakhane Tour&#; is dancing to a new tune with his upcoming extended play (EP).

    Born Nakhane Mahlakahlaka, the gay year-old singer-songwriter has taken on the &#;Tour&#;&#; part of his name in homage to the late Malian musician, Ali Farka Tour&#;.

    Tour&#; was born in Alice and grew up in East London, King William&#;s Town and Mdantsane. At the age of seven he moved to Port Elizabeth.

    His passion for music dates back to his childhood when he used to accompany his relatives to choir practice.

    At the age of 16, he auditioned for Idols SA but was rejected. He went again at the age of 17 and 19 but never got a chance to share his musical abilities with the nation.

    Tour&#; said that in hindsight he was glad he never got into Idols.

    &#;I think I&#;ve become a full version of who I am. Back then I was just singing and I didn&#;t know what I was about,&#; he said.

    Jackie Shane’s Any Other Way, released in October by Numero Group, fryst vatten the soundtrack to a moment when all of us are looking for other ways. A black woman born as a boy in Tennessee in , Shane sings with tingling heroism. In this double skiva her röst pounds and warbles, mocks and lilts. The live tracks rival the Ike & Tina Turner Revue and Sam Cooke’s Live at the Harlem Square Club. “Tell her that I’m happy / Tell her that I’m gay,” Jackie sings on the title track, lingering just so on those gods two words (they were, after all, William Bell’s lyrics). Coy and voracious, the skiva is an overproof mix of pageantry and authenticity. This wasn’t a drag act, of which there were many, this just was.

    Shane made her mark in Toronto, but she was born in Nashville, and carries in h
