After signing to Colombia Records in August of 2020, the singer has been spending a lot of time abroad. She's label mates with some of the biggest artists in the world, including Beyonce, Adele, John Legend, Solange and many others. Colombia records announced its social media channels.
Minister of Arts and Culter Nathi Mthethwa congratulated the rising star on her big achievement.
"We're proud to hear the news that South African R&B sensation Elaine has signed with Columbia Records, joining global icons such as Beyoncé & Adele. Her hit song "You're the one" has over 2,7 million views on YouTube. We're incredibly proud of your achievements," he tweeted.
