This past weekend, Khanyisa celebrated the release of her new EP, Softer, with an elegant launch event at Rockets in Bryanston. Known for her soothing and expressive vocals, Khanyisa has once again opened up her heart through her music, and the EP launch allowed fans to experience her journey on a deeper level. The event was attended by friends, family, industry figures, and fans who came together to celebrate her artistry and listen to her newest project in an intimate setting.
The Softer EP, released last Friday, is a blend of Khanyisa’s emotional honesty and vibrant Amapiano beats. Khanyisa took to Instagram to thank her supporters for the streams and love shown so far. She wrote, “Part 1 of my EP launch. I just want to thank you for all the support and streams thus far. I poured my heart and soul into this project, and I hope you will find a song that unlocks a softer side of you.”
At the event, Khanyisa shared the inspirations behind her songs. She explained that one track, in particular, is dedicated to her mother, who she described as her “pillar of strength.” In an emotional speech, she revealed that her mother has been a major source of support and inspiration throughout her musical journey. This relationship is mirrored in the EP, which delves into themes of resilience, love, and the beauty of letting one’s guard down.
The launch’s atmosphere was one of elegance and warmth, with soft lighting and floral décor setting the mood for a sophisticated evening. Guests were treated to an exclusive first listen of each track from Softer, along with live performances that showcased Khanyisa’s signature style. True to the EP’s title, Khanyisa aimed to show a “softer side” of herself—one that is open, vulnerable, and unapologetically expressive.
In Softer, Khanyisa explores new sounds and themes that reflect her evolution as an artist. It has already started resonating with fans, who have praised her for the authenticity and depth she brings to her music.
The EP launch marks a milestone for Khanyisa, not only as a celebration of her musical success but as a powerful statement about the strength found in vulnerability. Softer is available on all streaming platforms, inviting listeners to join Khanyisa on her journey and discover their own softer side.
