Sha Sha Reacts To Her Album ‘I’m Alive’ Being Named Among the Best 25 Alongside Beyoncé and Drake . Charmaine Shamiso Mapimbiro, best known as “Sha Sha” is one of the world’s most beloved Amapiano artists. Her music has truly captured the imagination of millions around the world, predominantly in Africa. Sha Sha is of Zimbabwean descent but is a resident of the great nation of South Africa. She has established herself as a household name of the “Amapiano” genre. Working under the tutelage of the “House” music legend Dj Maphorisa also contributed to Sha Sha’s epic rise to prominence.
With the recent release of her latest album, Sha Sha does not seem to be slowing down any time soon. She has well over half a million followers on Instagram alone. I’m Alive was listed among some of the best Dance Albums of the year and the ecstatic star couldn’t keep calm. Taking to her Instagram page, the Thembalami hitmaker shared a snippet from the Billboard article that sang praise for her 2022 body of work.
The part read: “Even those unfamiliar with the South African house subgenre amapiano will be allured from the first beat of I’m Alive, Zimbabwean vocalist Sha Sha’s debut album. However, it’s track four that seals the deal: On “Fast Car,” Sha Sha sings of the exhilaration that comes from first lust and high speeds over a lush, impossibly layered composition. Signature records like these can propel an artist’s career. From the artist known as the Queen of Amapiano, it could empower an entire genre.”
Sha Sha reacted to the article and the achievement on Instagram with a caption: “Billboard thank you! The worlds biggest media on the showbiz choosing my album as one of 25 favorite of the year alongside Beyoncé and Drake! We did this!”
