After the success of ‘Jerusalema’ around the world, Master KG knew that he had big shoes to fill with his follow-up single. Since the track reached so many people around the world, the producer wanted to create something a little more universal. So, he tapped super producer David Guetta and Akon as he drops his inspirational new single ‘Shine Your Light’.
With ‘Shine Your Light’, Master KG and David Guetta have spun a fresh approach on the feelgood blend of uplifting lyricism, exuberant Afro-house rhythms and sun-kissed vibes that made ‘Jerusalema’ so memorable. That atmosphere goes sky bound when Akon jumps in with his larger-than-life feature, his lyrics “having a good time dancing and laughing” getting to the heart of a song which gives the world a fresh shot of jubilation.
“I am blessed and excited to have collaborated with not one but two legends in David Guetta and Akon,” Master KG says of the new single. ‘Shine Your Light’ is special for me because it not only combines our different styles of music, but also spreads a positive message. Join us as we unite the world with love through music once again. Wanitwa Mosss.”
David Guetta adds “I am thrilled to have been able to collaborate with Master KG, and I’m so pleased to get to work with my long-time friend Akon again l! My hope is that ‘Shine Your Light’ brings joy to listeners around the world as we join each other on the dance floor once again.”
Master KG’s ‘Jerusalema’ transcended its initial viral status to become a global cultural phenomenon. It has now accumulated a dazzling 800 million combined streams as well as 7 billion views on Tik Tok for its vibrant dance challenge, which has captured the imagination of people everywhere from Angola to Israel to Italy. Iconic stars such as Cristiano Ronaldo and Janet Jackson have been big supporters, and even the South African president Cyril Ramaphosa encouraged his nation to join the fun.
