Cape Town – Eswatini-born amapiano star Uncle Waffles has been tearing it up in the music industry over the past two years and now she is releasing a third album.
Taking to her Instagram timeline, Uncle Waffles announced that her third album, An Asylum of Solace, will be released on 11 August and it is a double-sided project, building on from her second album Asylum.
“An Asylum of Solace. This project is a curated musical version of my journey, feelings that can only be shared through music, coming into almost 2 years since my life completely changed. The first part of this project, Asylum was a representation of the chaos in my mind trying to grasp, learn and run within this,” she said.

Uncle Waffles also added that the album is a representation of the chaos in her life so far and her journey that she’s been on made her feel like she’s been in an asylum.
“Solace is a representation of the grace that followed me and gave me so much peace and happiness, a mirror into how beautiful this journey continues to be, the blessings within this journey. It represents an Unexplainable feeling of gratitude that this journey chose me.”
The DJ gained fame after a video of her dancing to Young Stunna’s Adiwele went viral in 2021. Since then, she has been basking in success, performing at the Met Gala after party and Coachella, TimesLIVE said.
Her fame has led to international success and recognition, including praise from the likes of Beyonce and Kelly Rowland, who both admitted they were big fans of the DJ.
