Johannesburg, Friday, 28 August 2020 – Mono T teamed up with vocalist, Dr Moruti, for the release of their new Album, Never Ready, this comes at the back of the first single “uThando”, released on Friday, 14 August 2020. The album contains 14 tracks, with only one featured artist, Mawe2.
Uthando starts off with an afro-house-inspired sound, before gradually incorporating elements of house and soul music. The inclusion of soul elements allows for Dr Moruti’s serenading lyrics to blend in seamlessly. The vocalist sings about being so deep in love that he relentlessly pursues his love interest to win her over.

Asked about the album and collaboration the duo said:
“We have been working together for more than 5 years both on our own & other people’s project. We understand each other as producers, share the same version on wanting to see our SA music making it big in the international stage. We both love and respect our craft. We have been talking about this particular project since 2018 and analysing which direction to take and ended up deciding to go with what’s currently popular which is Amapiano, mostly because we make music for people. It took us a week to lay down the album, we were very inspired working 20hrs a day, with little to no difficulties except for lockdown restrictions.”
