Langa Mavuso is a force to be reckoned with. He is one of the most exciting acts in the South African music space today and he continues delivering well-class music as he teams up with Yanga Chief for his just-released single ‘Panther’ as he continues to tease his highly anticipated self-titled debut album ‘LANGA’ ahead of its release on 25 September.
Crafted with production duo Noble, who recently collaborated with Beyoncé on her seminal Grammy Award-winning album The Lion King: The Gift, ‘Panther’ is a smooth and soulful offering with lush R&B sensibilities and expansive soundscapes that will transport listeners on a late summer evening ride. The infectious slow jam sees Langa pour his heart out about searching for healing in all the wrong places, while highlighting his glorious vocals and exquisite falsetto tones, as well as his penchant for captivating storytelling and vivid songwriting.
Speaking about the inspiration behind his new single ‘Panther’, Langa says: “The song was inspired by a tumultuous time in my life where I had surrounded myself with many distractions to try and get over the pain and heartbreak of a difficult breakup. It captures how exhausting it became to pretend that things were alright with me after this relationship ended. It talks about the many distractions we use to run away from our emotions, whether it’s flashy cars and bottles of champagne to heal the pain, or seeking light in dark places”.
