Summer is fast approaching and DJ Zinhle has just dropped the perfect soundtrack to the season. The popular DJ has teamed up with former Idols South Africa contestant Loyiso for the banging new single ‘Indlovu’ – and it’s the perfect summer anthem.
‘Indlovu’ is a melodic, uplifting track spurring those in hope of new beginnings. Reflecting on the past, the song looks forward in an empowering way, coupled by warm keys and a soothing baritone. With vocalist Loyiso lending his supportive lyrics, DJ Zinhle taps into the organ for a gospel-chime soundscape that perfectly reflects the message of the track. More than a statement of positivity, ‘Indlovu’ is a sonic representation of DJ Zinhle’s desire to impact society in a meaningful way with her music.
When asked to comment on the inspiration of ‘Indlovu’, DJ Zinhle added “For me, the song is about hope and not giving up. It’s a timely message as the world is going through uncertainty, Loyiso delivers this message of hope in a gentle and impactful way. I couldn’t have chosen a better vocalist and talent for this single. Loyiso is a force and together we were able to create magic.”
Loyiso tells us “I wrote this song with the thought of instilling faith in myself at this hard time in my life and to give myself hope that will be carried out to the rest of the world. I knew the moment I sent Sis Zee (DJ Zinhle) the idea she would take it to the next level and she added a part of herself in it that makes this song even more special to me.” He adds: “The reason why ‘Indlovu’ is a big part of my life is because the animal pours out characteristics of resilience, patience and ambition and of course my clan name being ‘Indlovu’ makes it more special.”
