With two EPs out and several singles, Waide's newest song, "Think Twice", released February 20, is already generating fervent buzz in music circles.
The two-plus minute track is a soft R&B ballad that touches on the classic subject of loss and love. He wrote the entire song himself, with lyrics primarily in English. Proving his dedication to the craft of music, Waide described making "Think Twice" as arduous, involving several hours of listening in the studio to perfect the sound he desired.
He has promised fans that he will post a teaser soon on social media to accompany "Think Twice".
