First in Line is an R&B song by singer-songwriter Thando. Thando was born and raised in Johannesburg, South Africa and is inspired and influenced by the likes of Billie Eilish and Sam Smith and various genres of music including Pop and RnB/Soul. First in Line comes of her debut EP titled 'A Force To Be Reckoned With' which explores self-discovery through beautiful melodies and lyrics and touches on a love that one can only wish to experience.
A Force to Be Reckoned With details the story of Thando letting go of a particular toxic. As detailed in the EP, this was necessary for her to enter into relationship with someone new. Each song adds depth to the story of Thando’s new relationship
“A Force to Be Reckoned With is definitely not a body of work that can be confined to one genre. If I had to, I would say that it’s a mix of pop and r&b, with the tiniest bit of Afrobeats influence.” she says.
“I am South African at the start and end of it all-but my dreams for my music are so much bigger than my immediate surroundings.” - Thando
