South African Afro pop artist Mawelele has released his debut album, Pretty Girls Listen To Mawelele (P.G.L.T.M). The album, which features 16 tracks, was released on Friday.

He noted that his music has been well-received by women, and he wanted to create an album that would celebrate and honor them.
Mawelele's decision to create an album dedicated to women was sparked by comments from female fans on social media. They praised the beauty of his music, and the phrase "pretty girls listen to Mawelele" became a popular meme. Mawelele decided to build on this momentum and create an album that would acknowledge the challenges faced by women in society. He stated that the album's release coincides with a time when women are facing numerous challenges and are often disrespected in society.
The album, which took about six months to complete, features collaborations with several artists, including Nomfundo Moh, Usimamane, Kwesta, Olivetheboy, Ndu Browns, Danya Devs, Empro, and Tony Dayimane. Mawelele worked with producers Naxion Cross and Kinglee Beats on the project. He described the album as a fun and enjoyable work that will appeal to many people. Mawelele noted that most of the songs on the album have an Rn'B beat, which he believes will be well-received by fans.
Mawelele highlighted two songs on the album that he is particularly excited about. The first is "Ngiyazifela," which features Kwesta, and the second is "Ujesu Uzobuya," which showcases his faith and spirituality. Mawelele stated that he has a strong connection to his faith and wanted to express this through his music. The album is a significant milestone in Mawelele's career, marking his growth as an artist and his commitment to creating meaningful music.
Mawelele's music career began in Johannesburg, where he grew up and developed his passion for music. He gained popularity with his hit song "Romeo & Juliet," and has since released several successful singles, including "All My Life," which features Kwesta and Ola Sbali of Danya Devs. Mawelele's debut album is a testament to his hard work and dedication to his craft.
