DBN Gogo and Reece Madlisa team up to release their upcoming single, ‘Rough Dance’ alongside 2woshort, Classic Deep and Six40. The artists took to socials to share the official, animated cover art for the Piano song. DBN Gogo and Reece Madlisa gave fans a taste of what to expect by sharing a teaser for ‘Rough Dance’ which captured the attention of many and continuously receives positive feedback from hyped fans who cannot wait for the song to officially drop. This Amapiano joint is set to release on January 27th.
On 25 November, the Durban-born DJ and producer dropped Whats Real after much anticipation. The hype around DBN Gogo herself has also been building; she has even been included on the Black Panther: Wakanda Forever soundtrack. Her debut is born out of some emotional self-reflection, according to the award-winning artist in an interview with Kaya FM. In the interview, she shared that before the album’s production, she told her manager: “I’ve just been going back and forth, with what is real, how do I really feel about myself, self-doubt, what is my purpose in this whole industry in the game, everything you know.” From that self-reflection, Whats Real was conceived, and one can hear that emotion pulsate throughout the album’s 12 tracks.
Elements of Jazz, House and Gqom are infused into the record’s sound, with individual tracks gradually building up and dissolving in the classic Amapiano style. The album features a bevy of collaborators, including Zodwa Wabantu, Makhanj, Stixx, MacG, Boohle, Zaytoven, Yumbs and many others. Yet, all these collaborators are incorporated cohesively, gelling on each track and providing constant variety. Most songs have several shining moments, highlighted by adequate mixing and slick production. Though the enjoyability of the songs may vary, a golden thread runs through them, making the album ideal for one-sit listens.
