Daniel Baron's new album to drop on Youth Day
South African singer Daniel Baron has announced that his latest album, Weekend of Mass Destruction, will be released on the 16th of June.
Almost a year after his massive hit, Children of the Sun, Baron announced the release date of an album that has been years in the making.
He is known for pushing the boundaries, moving from a pop singer to creating dance music that has South Africans on their feet.
"The album is releasing on Youth Day and although it is a bit of a coincidence, the theme of the album is about destroying hate and celebrating love," he says.
