South African Amapiano pioneer Gaba Cannal is back with a fresh collaboration alongside Lesotho-born Afro-soul singer Maleh on the new single “My King.”
This slow-burning record arrives as part of Gaba Cannal’s recent creative surge. He has spent this run leaning into deeper harmonic structures instead of chasing quick club thrills. The result is a track that pairs sophisticated jazz keys with old-school vocal elegance. Maleh steps into the booth with her classic neo-soul sensibilities, and the blend sparks an incredible audio synergy.
Gaba Cannal has long built his reputation on arrangement patience within the regional scene. His polished township soundscapes have made him a fixture for fans who want emotional weight from their electronic dance music. Maleh, critically acclaimed in her own right, brings a timeless warmth to the record. Together, they create a sound that feels both refined and grounded.
While “My King” stands strong on its own, it also signals where Gaba Cannal’s current direction is heading. This is music for listeners who value texture over tempo.
