Which tune will reign supreme? The battle for song of the year

DECEMBER BEATS

- OLUTHANDO KETEYI

DECEMBER is officially in full swing, and while temperatures are still catching up to summer, the tunes are coming in hot.

In South Africa, music during the festive season becomes a thing and an even bigger deal than the rest of the year.

The battle for Song of the Year heats up with contenders coming out in full force. Once upon a time, music groups like Big Nuz ruled the summer season with their chart-topping tunes that would be on repeat all summer long.

Times have, however, changed, and the Durban group isn't serving hits, but other artists are keeping the tradition alive.
