Message: [QUOTE="Munyaradzi Mafaro, post: 40131, member: 636"] Music producer Kelvin Momo put out a new album after facing harsh media coverage during recent days. The artist shared that the release holds deep personal meaning for him through social media posts. Thato Ledwaba released the 29-track collection called Thato on Friday. He explained that music serves as his main way to share emotions and inner thoughts. The producer described this particular album as hitting close to home. Momo missed two scheduled weekend performances which forced his team to issue public apologies. An Australian concert promoter filed legal papers against Kelvin Momo Production at Johannesburg High Court earlier this month. The producer failed to appear for booked shows in Melbourne and Perth during November 2024. Each performance was supposed to last 60 minutes across two consecutive nights. Media outlets reached out for comments but received no response from the artist or his representatives. The negative news coverage prompted Momo to remove all Red Bull Symphonic content from his social media accounts. Fans began questioning whether he would still perform at the upcoming concert with conductor Adam Howard and Egoli Symphonic Orchestra. Red Bull officials did not respond to requests for comment about the situation. Momo later restored all the deleted posts after media inquiries were made. He had used Instagram archive features to temporarily hide the content from public view. The new album runs for almost four hours which continues Momo's tradition of creating extremely long releases. People joke that listeners can drive from Johannesburg to Limpopo and finish an entire Kelvin Momo album during the trip. The producer previously explained that he extends songs when they sound better with additional musical elements like bass guitar. He believes shorter tracks do not capture the full musical experience he wants to create. Studio sessions often result in longer compositions because the music improves as more layers get added.
