South African R&B powerhouse Elaine has teamed up once again with internationally celebrated duo Major League DJz for their brand-new single, “One More Dance,” featuring renowned producers Atmos Blaq and Mpho.wav. The release arrives alongside an official music video, delivering a genre-blending anthem that’s set to soundtrack dancefloors and playlists alike.
Built on hypnotic Afro-electronic production, lush synths and infectious rhythms, One More Dance captures the feeling of wanting one unforgettable night to last forever. Elaine’s soulful vocals glide effortlessly over the production, creating an emotional yet uplifting record that seamlessly blends contemporary R&B with the evolving sounds of African electronic music.
“‘One More Dance’ hits different,” says Elaine. “It’s that feeling when the night is perfect and you already know you’re going to miss it before it’s even ends. We wanted to bottle that emotion into a record. It’s about not wanting a good thing to end, and I think everyone can relate to that.”
The collaboration marks another exciting moment in Elaine’s growing journey within South Africa’s dance music scene. Earlier this year, she showcased her versatility on Skyla Tylaa’s Vele Uyena alongside JAZZWRLD and Thukuthela, while One More Dance also reunites her with Major League DJz after their successful 2023 collaboration, All Night Long, featuring Yumbs. The track became a major hit, reaching No. 1 on South Africa’s national radio airplay chart.
For Major League DJz, the release continues their mission of taking African music to global audiences. The addition of Atmos Blaq and Mpho.wav brings a rich Afro-house and electronic influence, creating a record equally suited for festivals, clubs, late-night drives and intimate listening sessions.
Born Ndivhuwo Elaine Mukheli in Pretoria, Elaine has established herself as one of Africa’s most influential artists. Her platinum-certified debut project, Elements, made history as the first independently released album by a female artist to reach No. 1 on the Apple Music Sub-Saharan Africa chart.
Her rise has continued with standout achievements, including opening for Chris Brown’s South African tour in 2024 before crowds exceeding 90,000 people, gracing the covers of Glamour South Africa and GQ South Africa Digital, and representing African creativity at international events such as Mugler’s New York Fashion Week launch.
With One More Dance, Elaine proves once again that her artistry knows no boundaries. Paired with Major League DJz, Atmos Blaq and Mpho.wav, she delivers a captivating fusion of soulful storytelling and cutting-edge African dance music that is sure to resonate with fans across the continent and beyond.
