Zulu pop rap dance music with a queer kick to it – that is Pelepele! Lyrically, it tells the tale of a love story unfolding on the dancefloor. Pelepele (chilli in isiZulu) is flirtatious and braggadocious, sultry and seductive with a searing, yet subtle, sexual allure. Produced by SiyaCee of Audio Addicts, the record evokes elements of bubblegum pop, disco and dance with its glittering instrumental work and most notably, horn arrangement. The driving bass keeps the groove consistent and extracts a compelling proposition to dance without care. S’BO GYRE’s cadence is decidedly unique to them yet reminiscent of Doja Cat Hot Pink era, Bree Runway and Douchie’s “Persuasive.” The use of the Zulu language sets it apart from anything ever released from the South African hip hop landscape. True pop rap perfection – just in Zulu.
