Sha Sha is not slowing down, you all.

And fresh from premiering the music video for her love-soaked summer hit ‘Tender Love’, the songstress on Friday thrilled fans with an acoustic performance of the song. Now uploaded on Youtube to the pleasure of her fans, the recording took place at the Sony Music studios offices.

Spotting her trademark blonde box braids, the ‘Love You Tonight‘ hitmaker is clad in a yellow jumpsuit as she hovers sun-drenched vocals over an acoustic piano set.

This is the first time that the 25 year old Zimbabwean native delivered a stripped down performance of her upbeat dance toons.

Taken from her 8-track EP, the critically lauded ‘Blossom’, Tender Love surged to the top of the charts during the summer of 2019. The project delivered a slew of popular tracks, many which fused Afrobeats, Pop, Soul and Amapiano.

Proving that her ascension to the forefront of the music industry will not be plunging into a downtrend anytime soon, the song has continued outperforming many of her contemporaries  on iTunes.

South African rappers Rouge and AKA on Friday debuted the official artwork for their looming project, their first collaborative joint.

The last time the two kind-of worked together was back in 2015, when Rouge appeared on the all-female-rapper remix of AKA’s Baddest.

Entitled One By One, the song is slated for release next week Friday, February 28th. The track is produced by Tweezy.

It’s unclear at this stage whether the song will appear on their upcoming respective albums, as both have promised fans to make good on their promises to avail full bodies of work in 2020.

The song will come months after Rouge unleashed the visuals for her 2019 scorcher, Popular, featuring Emtee.

At the height of the song’s popularity, Rouge proclaimed herself as the best female rapper in South Africa, a statement which caught AKA’s attention.

He applauded her honesty at the time, and suggested that South African female rappers should abandon displays of sisterly solidarity and claim the throne. Beefs, as he would attest, tend to generate a lot of public interest.

AKA, on the other hand, just delivered something new for his fans. Earlier this week, the Fela in Versace hitmaker appeared alongside Costa Titch and Riky Rick on the music video for the Nkalakatha remix.

Clearly Ami Faku is a girl after our own heart!

Just days after delivering sun-drenched vocals on ‘Uwrongo‘, the collaborative blockbuster offering that has seen her work with Prince Kaybee, Shimza and Black Motion, Faku has now explained the life experiences in which her hit, Imali, is rooted.

As part of Apple Music Song Stories, a curated series which features South African artists taking us through the stories that inspired their songs, Imali is the latest feature. The song debuted in the Top 5 on Apple Music when it was released in September 2019.

The single was intensely personal for Ami: “Imali, is a reflection on the difficulties of life. I felt that I left people behind who were suffering and unable to afford the basics”, she shared. “People can relate to the fact that many people never get the break they need. However, I wanted it to be inspirational too.”

Faku – the Apple Music New Artist Spotlight recipient in October 2019 – first discovered her passion for singing as a child in the church where her father was a pastor.

She began to explore a range of styles from gospel and reggae to pop and hip-hop, gradually developing her own distinctive voice which incorporates her Xhosa heritage.

She’s most proud of the fact that the album “is honest” which is why the lyrics mean so much to her: “Thandazile Kuzolunga nini … I’ve been praying and nothing changes, nothing wonderful is happening. That’s when you have to do something.”
