Well-known South African singer and unique songwriter Kwanda MusiQ sets an early tone on this new song titled “Tsa Jazz.”
The record is the second track on his eight-track “I AM ART II” EP. So it carries real responsibility as an early statement of the project’s direction.
Production duties go to Sbonelo Phungula and Bless Maane Khomola. Together, they craft something that feels warm, soulful, and deliberately jazz-influenced throughout.
The beat combines contemporary Amapiano elements with traditional jazz textures in a seamless manner, giving “Tsa Jazz” a cultured feel, but never sounding stiff or overly formal.
Bless Maano steps in and adds genuine vocal depth to the record. His contribution fits the mood perfectly – unhurried, emotional, and completely in service of the song.
Kwanda MusiQ anchors the record with his signature keyboard-driven warmth. His delivery is calm and confident, which gives the collaboration a grounded, honest feeling throughout.
As an early project cut, “Tsa Jazz” does important work. It signals that “I AM ART II” is not a rushed project – it is a carefully considered body of work.
Stream it and let the jazz soak in – this one rewards patience.
