Zimbabwean Afropop sensation Kazz Khalif, currently making waves online, announces his latest single “Wakapindwa Nei,” set for release on Monday, March 25th.
Fresh off a series of triumphs, Kazz continues to impress with his smooth vocals and a knack for infectious sounds, cementing his position in the Zimbabwean Afropop scene.
Following the viral success of his Amapiano rendition of Alick Macheso’s “Madhau,” which hit 1.8 million views on TikTok, Kazz returns to the beloved Amapiano sound with “Wakapindwa Nei.” This track showcases his versatility, complemented by the production of Estos Vincent, a rising talent known for collaborating with notable artists like Tigonzi, Kayflow, and Thabees.
The Amapiano single represents a notable transition from Vincent’s acclaimed hip-hop projects, yet its seamless execution makes this shift almost undetectable unless pointed out. It delivers a captivating combination of catchy melodies and dynamic log drum rhythms, ensuring that listeners can’t help but move to the beat.
“Wakapindwa Nei” represents a deliberate step in Kazz’s journey to reconnect with his African roots, building on the success of his previous releases. Working closely with long-time collaborator and executive producer Karizma, who also serves as his Africa manager, this project aims to celebrate the rich musical heritage of Southern Africa, signifying a key moment in Kazz’s career as he explores collaborations within the region.
The past year has been extraordinary for Kazz, with highlights including peaking at number 2 on Zimbabwe’s Star FM with “Go Babi,” touring Australia with Nutty O, and performing alongside the legendary Rozalla Miller. His recent collaboration with Italy’s KitamboLab production team, known for their work with stars like Daddy Yankee, further establishes his role as an international Zimbabwean music ambassador.
“Wakapindwa Nei” is more than just a track; it’s a deep dive into the complexities of love and heartbreak, continuing the emotional narrative of his previous hit. The song explores the shifting dynamics of relationships and the resulting sense of disorientation. Available on all major streaming platforms starting March 25th, join Kazz Khalif as he continues on this thrilling new chapter.
