South African act JAZZWRLD has released a new record titled “uValo,” featuring amapiano producer Dlala Thukzin, with a moody sound throughout.
The article states that the title resembles the isiZulu word for fear or anxiety. According to the report, the beat opens with dark pads and a slow, deep log drum. Hi-hats tick in the background while a thick bass creeps underneath, it states.
Dlala Thukzin has a name for bouncy dance records, the report notes. It adds that a darker topic on his beat makes the pairing interesting. JAZZWRLD leads in a low, steady tone, the article states, sounding like a man talking himself through a rough night.
The report states that Dlala Thukzin shapes the sound around that voice and adds small switches that lift the mood. The lyrics seem to deal with pressure, doubt and pushing through, according to the article. Because the hook repeats, the report says, the title sticks after one play.
