Empro and Mawelele link up on a fresh new record called “Ngeke Ngimyeke.”
The single arrives as a warm, vocal-led piece that leans into melody. Both artists bring their own styles, yet the production stays polished. It also lands as a single, and its arrival was preceded by real anticipation online.
Empro has kept a steady run going. His catalogue includes “Sabawela” with Danya Devs, plus “Uyangizwa” and “People Are Burning.” He also appears on “Mandela” with Casswell P. That range says plenty about his ear.
Mawelele, meanwhile, has been named alongside Nasty C, Sjava, Cassper Nyovest, Kwesta and Nomfundo Moh. So the pairing makes sense on paper. It also makes sense once the vocals start trading space.
The decision to keep things melodic opens the song up to a wider mood. It suits a slow evening, or a long drive when you want something easy. Listeners who enjoy soulful South African records will find plenty to hold onto here.
