Local Gqom queen Busiswa is back with a new anthem just in time for spring! The star releases her highly-anticipated new single ‘SBWL’ this week which sees the songstress, who wowed audiences with her performance of ‘My Power’ in Beyonce’s ‘Black Is King’ visual album, team up with fellow dance queen Kamo Mphela.
The song, produced by DJ Clap, is another high-energy record which is titled after the famous phrase commonly used on social media to express a craving of sorts. “SBWL is local township lingo that South Africans have made popular on social media,” Busiswa explains. “This kind of song, this kind of collaboration between two dance queens is important and relevant at this time because there is a notion out there that females don’t want to collaborate with each other so I am excited to be releasing this with Kamo.”
The singer also premiered a well-shot music, colourful video for the track which accompanied it’s release.
The song is Busiswa’s first independent release through her own label Majesty Music Entertainment. The release will be distributed worldwide through global distribution and artist and label services company The Orchard which is a major step for the songstress as an independent artist.
The star is currently working on a brand-new album which she says is a personal project. “The project that I am working on is going to feature a lot of prolific producers like DJ Maphorisa, Kabza da Small, Mas Musiq, Dj Clap, Pex Africah, Female Nigerian Producer by the name of Dunnie – it’s sounding beautiful,” Busiswa says.
“I want to make it all about me even though I am working on future collaborations this project is about me taking up space and claiming my place in the industry and becoming not just a features girl but being more than that a female who stands her own ground, on her own and her own projects. I am excited for people to hear it,” added Busiswa.
