South African singer Moonchild Sanelly recently took to Twitter to express her sadness over the state of Amapiano albums. In her tweet on Monday, she claimed that most Amapiano projects fail to achieve the same level of success as their popular singles.

Over the years, Amapiano songs like “Mnike,” “Asibe Happy,” “Siyathandana,” “Tanzania,” and many others have dominated social media platforms in various countries.

However, Sanelly feels that Amapiano albums have yet to reach such heights of success. She questioned the lyrics of these albums and expressed her disappointment, writing, “Sadly, Most AMapiano albums as a full body of work don’t maintain the singles’ statuses. Why?! I get disappointed just as a writer on some: Didn’t that just sound like one long song?! Maybe it’s me.

What’s worse is I don’t listen to people’s work in general. When I do, I’m saddened. Anyway.”  The tweet received mixed reactions, with some defending Amapiano artists like Kabza De Small, Kelvin Momo, and others.

To compile the current 10 female African artists list, Mp3bullet looked at who is pushing the envelope in terms of style and sound, as well as who is branching out into other genres.

Life was never the same after that, and stars were born. Women have succeeded in an era and society rife with severe misogyny.

Commercial success, impact, discography, critical praise, honors, and worldwide renown are all factors to consider.

Top 10 biggest female African artists at the moment

Tiwa Savage

Born in Nigeria, she grew up in the UK. She then spent part of her life in the US. While in America, she wrote songs for Fantasia Barrino, Mya and others.

But then came back to Nigeria and grabbed the bull by the horns.

She then rode and has continued riding. Her first two singles, ‘Kele Kele’ and ‘Love Me 3X’ dropped in 2010 and she never looked back.

A while later she signed to MAVIN Records and released her debut album, Once Upon A Time. She followed it with R.E.D in 2015 – both albums were critically acclaimed.

The awards started raining and recognition started.

The sold-out shows in western and European locations also followed. Then, the YouTube views spiked just as major international award recognition came in.

Around that time, she was affiliated with Roc Nation, In 2018, she was named the Best African Act at the MTV European Music Awards.

In 2019, she then signed a major record deal with Universal Music Group.

Just before that happened, she dropped the beautiful Sugarcane EP. 

Tiwa Savage has released her highly anticipated EP ‘Water & Garri’. The five-track project, The 5-track EP is a follow-up to the award-winning singer’s hit 2020 album “Celia“

She might not have the African audience of Yemi Alade, but she is bigger in Nigeria, the United Kingdom, and the United States of America.

Yemi Alade

She is nicknamed ‘Mama Africa’ for afro-centrism and pan-African musical appeal. Her smash hit single, ‘Johnny’ has amassed more than 110 million views on YouTube. 

She is also the first African female act to amass one million subscribers on YouTube. However, on home soil, she is not appreciated and she doesn’t make music for us.

On the bright side, she was named Best African Female Artist in consecutive years at MTV Africa Music Awards.

She also has four albums that have endeared her to the francophone and lusophone parts of Africa.

Nigerians don’t appreciate her, but her numbers are ridiculously impressive, she is ‘Mama Africa’ and since that Peak Talent Show in 2009, she has not slowed down.

It took her a while, but she cracked it. She has her faults, but she is super.

Tems

Tems is a dynamic songwriter and producer who is bringing new energy to the Nigerian music scene.

The Isale Eko native boasts a blend of R&B and Soul paired with African nuances to create her unique sound.

Teni

There’s a clip of Teni commanding a sea of onlookers at the inaugural Afro Nation festival in Portimao, Portugal with her 2018 hit “Case”.

She only had to offer a few sparse words of the song a cappella before the massive audience took off with the rest.

In the song, she vows to slap police and punch judges if it’ll prove her romantic devotion. Her music is not all love songs, though.

“Fargin,” born from a viral freestyle over a highlife classic, tackles rape culture and sexual predation.

Niniola

By melding sinuous Afro-house rhythms with frank talk about sex and romance, Niniola has established herself as one of Nigeria’s most celebrated acts.

Since emerging as a runner-up on reality TV show Project Fame West Africa, the Yoruba singer has become living proof that hard work, determination, and creativity pay off.

Her 2014 debut single “Ibadi” encapsulates her distinctive blend of Afrobeats, house music, and a feisty, vivacious persona.

Born in Mthatha in South Africa’s Eastern Cape province in 1988, the artist was introduced to the scene through “My Name,” a 2012 Afro house tune by DJ Zinhle.

As gqom gained popularity in the mid-2010s, she reinvented herself accordingly as heard on 2017’s Highly Flavoured and 2018’s Summer Life.

She went for an amapiano soundscape on 2020’s My Side of the Story as the genre took over the country’s dance floors.

Though she may switch sounds, Busiswa’s lyrics constantly portray subtle messages of feminism.

This approach, owing to her background as a poet, is a common thread in Her Majesty’s albums and scene-stealing guest appearances.

This quality was recognized by Beyoncé, who in 2019 enlisted her for the percussion-heavy Black girl resilience anthem “MY POWER” featuring Nija, Yemi Alade, Tierra Whack, Moonchild Sanelly, and Queen Bey herself.

Mr. JazziQ, a Johannesburg-based producer and DJ who is part of JazziDisciples, is regarded as one of the pioneers of Amapiano, a hybrid of deep house, jazz, and kwaito, a South African dance music that arose in the 1990s.

With a string of hits with fellow Amapiano stars Focalistic, DJ Maphorisa, and Kabza De Small, as well as regular collaborations with just about everyone else, he is driving the genre’s charge into the mainstream.

Quick fact

Tumelo Manyoni known professionally as Mr JazziQ, is a South African Amapiano DJ and record producer.

• RELATED: Top 5 Songs That helped Define Davido’s Music Career

He is best known for being a member of the amapiano DJ duo, JazziDisciples.

Overview

Amapiano’s rhythm oscillates between laid back and mid-tempo, with booming basslines, loads of synths, and soulful piano or flute melodies, slower and more subdued than West African Afrobeats and Afropop.

Because amapiano is a relatively new genre, it has allowed for unrestricted expression and an investigation of sounds, presentations, and influences that are indicative of the creation of anything new.

This freshness and eagerness to learn contrasts with what’s happening in other popular genres such as R&B, pop, and hip-hop, where songs have become formulaic, calculating, and predictable.

Despite the fact that it has been present since 2012, it had a surge in popularity in 2020.

Mr JazziQ has been working relentlessly in the local scene to transform it into the bustling cultural epicenter it is today, and he’s accomplished remarkable progress in only a few short years.

He launched his debut album, 0303, in March of last year, and it created a slew of hit singles, two of which were certified Gold in South Africa, including “Askies,” a collaboration with another South African singer, Moonchild Sanelly.
