Who else will understand the aving stepped into the music scene in 2010, Brian Temba has come full circle in all aspects of his craft. Temba, a falsetto-pitched singer, world renowned actor and producer, makes a major comeback with his third studio album, titled UnABC. The cryptic title of the album stands for UnApologet­ic, UnBreakabl­e and UnCensored, an album with which Temba intends to further embed his sultry voice in the hearts of many South Africans. This South African R&B singer, returning to the scene after seven years, brings with him a lot of new beginnings and revelation­s as he affirms himself as a musician and producer who is not shy to boast about his talent – a force not to be trifled with and an echo too loud to ignore. When discussing the process and thought behind this album, Temba summed it up as follows: 23 - 26 February 2017 Thurs & Fri 10:00 – 19:00 | Sat & Sun 09:00 – 18:00

H“For the longest time I had been apologetic about my work and the vast amount of experience I have both as an actor and musician and this has taken a toll on me,” says Temba as he touches more into what inspired the first encryption to his album.

Having performed on global stages with the cast of The Lion King, Temba is no stranger to fame and hard work.

“I was the very first African Simba on the world stage but I didn’t talk about that.

“On my first album I collaborat­ed with an internatio­nal producer, Steve Anthony.”

Spending time overseas has helped the singer/actor to not only acquire new skills, but fully understand the diversity which lies in music and melodies.

His gentle nature and charming mama’s boy looks have seen Temba gain favour in the hearts of many female R&B lovers, partially influenced

If you’re thinking about renovating, building, or decorating, you need to visit the Johannesbu­rg Homemakers Expo at the Ticketpro Dome from tomorrow until Sunday. by his character on SABC2’s soapie drama, Muvhango. “There have been times where I almost walked away from music and return to my first love, the theatre,” confesses the now reborn Temba.

His encounter with the music business in South Africa had begun to leave a bitter taste in his mouth as many of the people who he sought help from or find refuge in, turned out to be the same people who were responsibl­e for dimming his light.

His humility and modesty is part and parcel of him as an artist. “I am the same on and off stage or camera, I am Brian and this is all I can be,” he says – and talks about his plans of a possible tour and live DVD recording. Speaking on the topic of uncensored, the singer grins as he acknowledg­es that in this, his third album, his lyrical content has taken a turn.

He is more confident to speak about sex and the beauty behind making love to that special person.

“I never used to speak about sex and getting it on. There is a song called Can I and May I on the album and that is the feel I’m leaning towards – mostly influenced by my love for old school ’90s classics by Teddy Pendergras­s,” says Temba.

UnABC is not only a collector’s album but is also dedicated to those who seek to find the mystery in love, romance and passion.
