For his latest musical venture, Abidoza makes lemonade out of lemons. Titled Phola, the album depicts the healing of the soul from everything life has thrown at him. He enlists the help of his childhood heroes like Judith Sephuma, KB, Ladiaudiosoul, and others, to translate his most candid body of work.
Fezeka Dlamini, Nomfundo Moh & Naledi Aphiwe – “Uyangijabulisa”
Afro-pop sensations Fezeka Dlamini, Nomfundo Moh, and Naledi Aphiwe serenade the heart on their joint single – Uyangijabulisa. The upbeat ballad is a celebration of monogamous love as each singer supplicates their partner to a life of eternal joy.
Following a two-year hiatus, PatricKxxLee returns with his latest body of work – Room 37. The largely self-produced album plays with temporality by bouncing between the future and nostalgia. PatricK explain his intention of the album:
“My goal was to make songs that make you feel that warm euphoric cloud inside. Infectious songs that [that] display my outlook on the situations that match the mood of the sound. For me, ROOM 37 is the balance between art and turning up.”
Londie London, DJ Maphorisa and Yumbs – “Themba”
South African businesswoman and reality star, Londie London steps back into her musical shoes via a new single titled – Themba. The song interpolates a local women’s protest anthem that speaks about being taken for granted. Themba was produced by DJ Maphorisa and Yumbs.
Oufadafada – “I Can’t Give Up Now (Keagana)”
I Can’t Give Up Now hitmaker, Oufadafada unveils his album of the same name. I Can’t Give Up Now (Keagana) mixes dance and gospel sensibilities to convey a message of hope and healing.
