...but yes, that new Azana track. “Umaqondana” might be my favourite so far.

came across this playlist on Spotify, looks like a perfect match with the music on this thread: Sunday Kind of Love by Filtr South Africa.

New Heavy K, “second single”** from a new project that is promised for 31 July. It sounds great and I'm keeping my fingers crossed:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eG9aNx4y9zEHeavy-K ft. Natalia Mabaso • Uyeke
(**meanwhile previous single “Tsamaya” with Professor has disappeared from Spotify. Don’t know what’s going on between Heavy and Spotify: the tracks he dropped last year never reached it or have disappeared again, and his 2018 album and 2017 classic "Inde" are no longer there either)

that's really nice (not surprisingly for him). even the part that semi-reminded me of phil collins "another day in paradise", lol

very nice. no idea who votes in these things, but their respective international profiles being the way they are I would not have expected her to beat Rema.

☀️My new album TO THE WORLD AND BEYOND #ttwb will be dropping this Spring with a diversity of sound and exciting new features. This album is a colorful continuation of my debut album AFRICA TO THE WORLD. I would like to welcome you to a new chapter 📖 pic.twitter.com/JkLi2ZjsjU— Sun-EL Musician (@sunelmusicianza) July 9, 2020

pretty fucken psyched for this one (will check the Niniola after I'm done relistening to Smile)

you're not gonna believe this but the Azana is beautiful music
― A True White Kid that can Jump (Granny Dainger), Friday, 17 July 2020 17:17 (three years ago) link
yep, it's good. A bit moodier than I was expecting in some way, and it's a lot to take in, but "Egoli" and especially "Bafazi" stood out on first pass
― rob, Friday, 17 July 2020 17:26 (three years ago) link
reminded me of 90s downtempo in spots, strangely enough
― A True White Kid that can Jump (Granny Dainger), Friday, 17 July 2020 17:31 (three years ago) link
"Egoli" def had that vibe. My possibly off-base first impression is that she followed the Samthing template and the first half is less upbeat and dancey (the "moodiness") and things pick up and bliss out in the second (?)
― rob, Friday, 17 July 2020 17:33 (three years ago) link
I’m at “Bafazi” and holy fuck
― No mean feat. DaBaby (breastcrawl), Friday, 17 July 2020 19:23 (three years ago) link
I'm pretty sure the next two are sublime too, but I actually got halfway through Bafazi and started it over so I could relive it XD
― rob, Friday, 17 July 2020 19:29 (three years ago) link
Gorgeous album, nothing much else to say rn, just gorgeous. Azana is so wonderful and commanding throughout.I did notice that Claudio x Kenza produced the majority of the tracks, including “Egoli” and “Bafazi”, while Sun-El is credited for just four.From this I conclude that Sun-El is not just an incredible producer with a great eye for talent but is probably a fantastic mentor as well.

thinking we should redirect the Jessie Ware posse to this album

yeah that's great, can see that going straight onto replay for awhilewhat's the sun-el connection if any?
― Fuck the NRA (ulysses), Tuesday, 21 July 2020 19:38 (three years ago) link
there is none. I think we strayed Mlindo > Sjava > Blaq Diamond at some point, and now we ended up here. it’s still Beautiful South African Music to me.

Extracurricular track by Sun-El "to celebrate the 60th year anniversary of radio station Ukhozi FM".

It's so cool to hear Sotho again (Malome Vector), I like their harsh Rs which strangely remind you of Afrikaans.
― Nabozo, Friday, 24 July 2020 19:50 (three years ago) link
“Emoyeni” is beautiful

There’s also Nobuhle. I suspect she may be featured on Sun-El’s album – this song is not on his label, but the video is promoted on the EL World TV YouTube account:

He’s good! I posted an earlier track of his here last year, I think. Saw he just released an album>EP. Have you listened to it yet?(those are “Molo” and “Uhamba Nobani” (ft. Sho Madjozi) btw)
