South African singer Samthing Soweto comes back to the music scene with an infectious single, “Deda.”
“Deda” is a soul-stirring ballad wrapped in velvet sound, stitched together with grief, gratitude, and the kind of vocal depth that only comes from living, losing, and loving all at once.
Samthing Soweto lays down a soulful chorus and verses on the infectious track, rekindling the full essence of his melodic vocal prowess.
In “Deda,” Samthing Soweto’s performance is intentional and profoundly intimate, with each lyric bearing the heavy burden of grief and tribute.
Produced by Samthing Soweto and co-produced by John Lundun. The track’s production blends subtle percussion with atmospheric synths.
Before the release of the song and his album announcement, Samthing Soweto wrote on various social:
“Ngiyabonga to everyone who stood by me while I was quiet. Even when I stopped posting, you kept my name alive, making my song ideas trend like full releases.
That gave me the courage to keep going. That gave me the courage to keep going.”
“Deda” is the second released song from Samthing Soweto’s forthcoming album, “Touch is a Move (Good Morning),” scheduled for release in July.
The album, “Touch is a Move (Good Morning),” is a seventeen-track project that features guest appearances from Blxckie.
