Loading player...
Yandani, South Africa’s fast-rising Pop/R&B star, is set to release his highly anticipated debut EP, About You, this Friday. He recently released his new single, “Touch,” which serves as the lead single ahead of the EP’s release.
Yandani carries a rich musical legacy as the grandchild of the founder of Ladysmith Black Mambazo, with his father also continuing the family tradition as a member of the iconic group.
At just 20 years old, with more than one million TikTok followers, Yandani is quickly establishing himself as one of South Africa’s most exciting emerging artists. His latest single, co-written with acclaimed British songwriter Sacha Skarbek (known for his work with James Blunt and Miley Cyrus), is a vibrant anthem about love, obsession, and losing yourself in someone’s presence, offering a glimpse into his bold new sound.
