Sauti Sol lead singer BienAime Barasa has explained why the boy band has not released any project since dropping their album, Midnight Train in 2020.
Speaking to a local publication, the singer said the band has taken some time off, however, noting that they are working on some new albums.
"We have relaxed and taken time for our fans to listen and internalise the 'Midnight Train' album. It is still the number one album on some platforms since we released it last year. We are still working on some new albums on the way," he said.
This came two weeks after Sauti Sol announced that they will not be performing in their slated concert in the UK.
"We regret to inform you that due to visa delays and the COVID19 restrictions, our UK residency has been rescheduled to October 2021. All tickets remain valid and we look forward to seeing you all very soon," said Sauti Sol in a statement.
The new development sparked outrage among their fans, but Bien argued that fans should understand that somethings are beyond their control.
"People need to understand that there are restrictions in the world. Some things are beyond us, we also want to go for these shows. How can we just sit at home and fail to show up?" He said.
On how they managed to live through the COVID19 pandemic, Bien said;
"The best way to survive through this pandemic is that. Money is not made only through live performances
"We have been doing other businesses. Our Pace headphones have sold out already. We hope the government will open the country."
