One thing i have seen that most people don't understand is that one may be an excellent singer and will shine whilst in a band but for as long as they don't create their own fanbase whilst still in a big band, they will not go anywhere! The likes of Fally,Ferre,Bill Clinton and Heritier Watanabe had big fan bases before leaving. Fabregas who is now bringing shocks seems to be the lucky one and it's mainly to his unique style of singing, his first album was of high standard but he still wasn't that popular till he released his last album with the generique Ya Mado which went viral and that made him an instant star, most people don't even know the rest of the songs on the Ya Mado album. What am trying to say is that all these boys are not guaranteed any success just because they are good singers and dancers. What is the point of rushing to become a solo artist when you know you will struggle to raise finances to record, create a good fanbase to sell your albums to, if he rushes he may end up like others before him. We know of so many good singers out their struggling to sell their CD's even to their own family members.
Yes you are correct but you know when it's in BCBG it's a different story all these guys were completely lucky they played in golden era were albums were dropping like water hitting a bathtub, now in BCBG you have to wait at least 5/7 years for songs to come out the guy has done over 10 years if not 8/9 and has one song what is this I'd rather have him putting in effort on his own then waiting for his leader to release the album at pace 0.1 mph

JB Mpiana and his staff have shared vision, yes, they ,may look stupid but the mere fact that they have remained relevant even today means they are not an ordinary band. They are still able to release decent work which stands the test of time that's why they still compete with the most active and workaholic bands. JB Mpiana seems focussed on providing entertainment in a relaxed style, i think his personal fortunes outside music have made him not rely too much on music hence the laziness but he is no fool!
i think jb himself knows he will never change his policy of releasing album 4/5 years after so he wanted to give an opportunity to the two most promising guys of his group
