Discover "I KNEW" - A New Amapiano Anthem
Connecting Barcelona and South Africa
"I KNEW" is more than just a song; it's a vibrant tribute to the pure amapiano beat and a fresh regeneration of the genre. With a mesmerizing instrumental crafted by Barcelona-based producer Solomane and featuring rising South African artists Vezi, Khululekani, and Khanyi M from Langa township in Cape Town, "I KNEW" is poised to become an anthem from Europe to South Africa.
"I KNEW" is a captivating Amapiano single that explores the delicate balance between self-ambition and the unwavering support of a loved one. The song delves into the journey of chasing dreams relentlessly, even at the risk of causing temporary distance from those we cherish. As we get busy working towards our aspirations, we ask for forgiveness and understanding from our loved ones, who might fear a potential breakup. This unapologetic pursuit of dreams brings us face to face with the crucial question: "What do you want from me?"
In the song, the duality of ambition and love is beautifully intertwined, showcasing the strength it takes to follow your dreams and the importance of having someone who stands by you through it all.
