NEW ALBUM: Thndo 'Lessons In Love'

Thndo takes a chance with Lessons in Love album
+ Valentine's Day show and upcoming tour dates

Australian powerhouse and singer songwriter Thndo is ready to take a chance with the release of Lessons In Love, her full length album out now. In celebration of the release, Thndo’s coming months will see her delight audiences with her Valentine's Day launch day show at Melbourne’s iconic JazzLab, support for Grammy-nominated R&B soul singer and songwriter BJ the Chicago Kid's Melbourne and Sydney, a June launch at Karralyka Theatre, and more.

The picture of where elegance meets prowess, Thndo’s 12 track album is filled with unabashed honesty, weaving together stories of courage, candour, and conflict to create messages of empowerment, featuring the voices of HALO Vocal Ensemble throughout some of the tracks. From finding bravery in diving head first into relationships in Ocean Floor Pt. 1 and Pt. 2, the uphills battles in ‘Along The Way’, ‘Holding On’, and the questions and ‘what ifs’ in ‘Given Time’ and ‘Forward’, to leaning into moments of connection in ‘Chance’ and ‘Bedroom Eyes’, there is a lesson to be learned for everyone. Her hypnotic vocals search for the uplifting moments in ‘Fall’ and ‘4EVA’, and facing the challenging decisions that come with motherhood in work and relationships with ‘Another Day’ and album closer ‘Purpose’, written by close friend and collaborator Audrey Powne.  

For many Australian audiences, the ‘First Lady of Soul and R&B’ is a description that takes stunning form in thndo. She is no stranger to the stage, a contemporary crowd favourite at the likes of Bluesfest, Jungle Love, WOMAD, Groovin the Moo, Adelaide Cabaret Festival, Woodford Folk Festival, Melbourne International Jazz Festival, St Kilda Festival, Mullum Festival, and FLOW Festival, and supported artists including Leon Bridges, Allen Stone, Odette, Ngaiire, and Baker Boy. Recently she has appeared on Channel 7 and 9’s televised Carols, ABC’s Spicks & Specks, and Foxtel’s Rockwiz, and in 2024, she joined the cast of RENT: The Musical in the role of Joanne, touring nationally.

Leap into all the lessons that come with love in Thndo’s new album this Valentine’s Day.
