Written By: MIM!—The Goddess of South African cool, Simphiwe Dana, is a back with an empahatic stylish new album, Kulture Noir. Reflecting a more somber Simphiwe, Kulture Noir, is a dark and heavy album intended to inspire a dialogue about the state of South African society. Simphiwe shared with South Africa's Mail & Guardian, "There are so many unresolved issues and people are not even aware that they have unresolved issues. They just lash out on a psychological level. No one is taking time to assess where we are as a people, and why we are … people are not ready to deal with all the madness. We just want to forget about it, but it's not that simple."
