Zonke’s New Album Goes Gold!

Zonke’s latest album, “Work of Heart,” is now certified gold meaning it sold more than 20,000 copies. The sensational singer took to Instagram yesterday to o thank her fans for all the love and support. 2015 has been a great year for a lot of South African artists who have managed to get gold certificates. We are talking about the likes of Zahara, Dj Black Coffee, Cassper Nyovest, who even reached platinum status with their new albums.

Zonke Dikana’s new album , Work of Heart, was released on 18 September.  Work Of Heart is centered around the song Meet Me In My Dreams, a dedication to her sister and musician Lulu Dikana who died last year. The sisters have been prominent musicians for years, but never worked on a song together.

Afro-soul musician Zonke Dikana is inspired by English soul singer Sade who hasn’t collaborated with another artist in years. “She’s my idol. I love everything about the way she works and lives her life. I see myself following in her footsteps.”

“If an album or a song makes sense to me, I’m satisfied. I think people who say ‘but this is not the Zonke we know’ want to hang on to Ina Ethe, but as an artist I have to move on. That album is in my past. I am a different person now.”

Well done Zonke!
