With Valentine’s Day around the corner, South African musicians Azana and Big Zulu have teamed up to celebrate love with a new single. “Amacala Othando” talks about the essence of love, respect and the beauty of overcoming relationship challenges.
“This song talks about a broken marriage where the man does everything for the woman but feels unappreciated. It’s an argumentative dialogue between the lovers expressing their concerns. At the end of this heated argument, they agree never to grow apart despite their challenges.
“It was an amazing experience working with Big Zulu, who I see as a living legend. This collaboration is an answered prayer,” Azana said.
Meanwhile, Big Zulu said some of the best songs are those that came unexpectedly and “Amacala Othando” is one of them. He hopes lovers will enjoy it as much as they loved making it.
“This song came unexpectedly as we were just jamming and having fun in the studio. Little did we know something magical would come out of it. Collaborating with the phenomenal, young, talented songwriter and versatile songstress Makhosazana (Azana) was exceptional. I can’t wait for everyone to experience the story Makho and I are telling in this song.”
The duo have already started shooting the music video for the song and have been teasing fans with snippets. Fans are hoping that they will release it simultaneously with the song.
“I’ve listened and watched this video more than 10 times now, imagine when the song comes out,” said @mafuze.nje__.
Another fan, @gorgeous.rose_2.0, said: “Knowing myself, I would have fallen in love by the end of the shoot. My heart is weak kabi (too much) that organ.”
“Amacala Othando” drops on all streaming platforms on January 24. – IOL.com
