This genre-bending project promises to showcase the unique signature sound that has captivated audiences around the globe.

Produced by BERNT and let me you, Grace serves as a touching reintroduction to Busiswa’s distinguished voice, interwoven with warm percussive grooves and electronic textures.

Recorded in Berlin and Johannesburg, the track emerges as a heartfelt meditation on resilience, vulnerability and self-acceptance.

Busiswa’s delivery imbues the song with her unmistakable energy, urging listeners to embrace their journeys. “Grace is my reminder that softness and strength can exist in the same breath,” she reflects. “It’s an offering to anyone walking through transformation – with rhythm, honesty and joy.”

Hailing from the vibrant streets of Mthatha in the Eastern Cape, Busiswa’s trajectory to fame is as inspiring as her music itself.

With roots deeply entrenched in South African musical culture, she has risen to prominence within the gqom and Afro-pop genres.

Her debut single, Lahla, released in 2016, quickly ascended the South African charts, paving the way for a series of successful follow-ups.

The breakout single, Bazoyenza propelled her into the limelight, facilitating collaborations with music heavyweights including DJ Zinhle, Kamo Mphela, DJ Maphorisa, Moonchild Sanelly and even global icon, Beyoncé.

Each collaboration not only cements her place as a star but it also elevates South African music on the global stage.
