South African vocalist Samthing Soweto has released a new record titled “Hey Wena” together with Entity MusiQ and Alie-Keys. The track pairs his vocals with production from the two acts. The title, the source notes, sounds like a call across the street.
Samthing Soweto came up with The Soil before going solo, according to the source. Entity MusiQ and Alie-Keys supply the piano element on the collaboration. The beat rests on a deep log drum and clean percussion.
Soft keys ripple over a round bass, with small shakers filling the gaps. Samthing sings in what the source describes as an airy, slightly raspy voice. The producers frame his voice without crowding it, the source states.
The lyrics appear to call out one person and ask for attention, though the mood stays cheeky. The hook repeats, so the title is said to stick after one play.
