I wonder if there’s room to critique my latest EP as agreeable? I wonder whether I’ve been too afraid to admit that, to a degree, I endeavoured to be (hate to say it), palatable. It’s true, I created from the principles, “existence is resistance” and “I represent those who feel represented by me.” But I wonder in so doing, I subconsciously chose to be on the fence. I wonder whether my inability to move the needle of my following is because I actually represented nothing or didn’t represent something strong enough? Perhaps I am wrong to in writing this right now and playing both artist and critic. But maybe it’s because I made work not worth critique or opinion of others so I feel the need to do it myself? I wonder whether Sonini really pushed the conversation on queerness and spirituality far enough? Was making the statement enough? Should I still do everything in my power to perform on One Gospel? I mean, Queernomics opened with the lines “I’m so cautious of my path as I am of white gays, cause white gays - they still have a white gaze.” Is “Hands up in the sky, praise the Lord and then I vogue” too suggestive and not direct enough? Have I become agreeable. Not worth the conversation. Have I failed to spark true conversation? Have I failed to be an artist? These are the questions I ask myself. Don’t get me wrong, I love Altar Call and consider it a masterpiece sonically and in sequencing. It beautifully captures the principles I spoke off. And for its time, it made complete sense to me as a person and as an artist. But I’m starting to feel that time is over. I want to make statements as bold as I do on “Black Jesus”, “Eat My Ass”, “IsiNgisi”, “SOS”. I want to stand for something again. Boldly and unapologetically. My pursuit of dignity (re:money so I’m not a struggling artist), has made me feel forgettable and whatever the opposite of brave and courageous is. I’m deeply questioning why I make art. What it actually means to be a black, gay, dreadlocked, feminine artist who has the gift to write, rap, compose and make art the way I do. I want to say things boldly- but I feel like a slave to the security of a “dignified life”, a slave to a salary. Anyway, that’s just how I feel. I hope you had a wonderful day. Love S’BO GYRE 😘🌈❤️

My historic performance at ​⁠Back To The City‬ is the inspiration for my latest reel in my ongoing #Performance1O1 series. You can check it out on my Tik Tok, Insta and YouTube y’all. The performance was the first time an openly gay rapper had performed on the main stage of Africa’s biggest hip hop festival. My little contribution to #PrideMonth 🌈 history. You can watch a bit of the performance here: https://youtu.be/zyN4EPujK9M?si=cE5t0G5M13wouxQ0 Otherwise, I see y’all and the Ukhethe Mina propaganda 😂😂😂. I have something in mind on how we get that song to the top. I’ll share that with yall soon. For now, let’s reminisce today on the history we made. And welcome to the family to the newbies. 🥳🍾❤️ We are the Gyre’s. I’m S’BO GYRE. If your name is Jo, you’re now JO GYRE. You get it? 😂❤️ Thank you for joining us and let’s have some fun. Love S’BO GYRE ❤️🌈😘

*Are these really your fav songs of mine?* 🤔 So I started a series last week called the *“S’BO GYRE BILLBOARD CHARTS”*. I’m showing yall my best streamed songs on Spotify and Apple every seven days. It’s always interesting to see what yall enjoy each week. The biggest climbers across the board are “Skating” and “I love you”. So happy for ILY cause I really love it 🥹❤️. But maybe we should pick a song to push every week? What do yall think? I‘ll go think about which ones it should be and put up a poll. Then we’ll push it together. Anyway, enjoy. Hope you’re having a great week. Love S’BO GYRE ❤️🌈😘

Okay it’s true, I did my best impression of a disappearing act. Well, it’s done…sorta. Just came to reassure you that I’m not dead, not retired nor inactive…really. I’ve just been using the year to rest. 2024 took a lot out of me. Physically, emotionally, mentally and financially. Making Altar Call happen was a huge undertaking of which I am proud of but also maaaaad exhausted by. So I’ve put on a bit of weight, shaken off the shackles of anxiety and started having a clearer picture of what’s next for me. The main goal is to grow our family, the Gyre’s. But first, we gotta make this household fun and warm before we allow more siblings in here. So I’m working at that. To apologise for such a long delay - I’ve shared the first few seconds of the next single. No date yet, but it’s cooking. Hope this not only appeases you but also excites you. I love you and appreciate you always. Y’all know I do so much but my greatest well of joy is music and performance. I’m eternally thankful for making that possible for me. So many exciting things coming. Stick around, adopt a sibling by sharing this channel and let’s all be Gyre’s. Love S’BO GYRE 😘🌈❤️
