Samthing Soweto is officially back — and back with a bang. His newly released album, Touch Is A Move: Good Morning, is already gunning for the number one spot on the South African Spotify album charts, just one week after its debut. Released on 4 July 2025, the album has reignited excitement in the local music scene, with fans rallying behind what many are calling a triumphant comeback.
The album’s success marks a significant return for the acclaimed vocalist, who had taken a step back from the limelight in recent years. Leading up to the release, Samthing Soweto dropped the heartfelt single “Deda,” which gave fans a powerful glimpse into the sound and soul of the new project. The single was met with glowing reviews and quickly built anticipation for the full album.
Now, just days after Touch Is A Move: Good Morning dropped, the numbers are in — and they’re impressive. X (formerly Twitter) user @2022Africa shared that the album is “now challenging for No. #1 Debut on the SA Spotify Weekly Album Chart.” Currently, it’s in a tight race with Thato Ya Modimo, the record-breaking album by Amapiano maestro Kelvin Momo, which is still sitting comfortably in the top spot.
The news has stirred an outpouring of support from fans across the country. Many have taken to social media to express their admiration for the effort and soul Samthing Soweto poured into this album.
Musically, Touch Is A Move: Good Morning showcases Samthing Soweto’s signature style — a fusion of jazz, soul, Amapiano, and rich storytelling. The album is deeply emotional, reflective, and refreshingly authentic, further proving his place as one of Mzansi’s most unique voices.
As the week unfolds, all eyes are on the charts. Whether he claims the top position or not, one thing is clear — Samthing Soweto has made a major move, and Touch Is A Move: Good Morning is already one of the year’s most celebrated releases.
