MBABANE – New music alert!
Local group of Emagagu dropped their latest release, titled Swati Love Letter; on Friday (7 February 2025) on all digital platforms.
The trio consists of Percy P. Thwala, Bonkhe Thwala, and Buhlebe’bezwe Dlamini.
Percy P Thwala, who is the founding member of the group, when reached for comment shared with this publication that Swati Love Letter is their first single track of the year.
He said,” It’s a beautiful love song that depicts a happy man in a relationship and how he desires to tie the knot with his girl. The biggest inspiration behind the song is the fact that February is a month of love where we see people showing massive love to their partners. We dedicated it to those who will be celebrating Valentine,” shared the artist.
When asked how the project came about, he said, “It wasn’t something planned; we had a studio session for another project, and then it happened that my brother (Bonkhe) randomly played the instrument for this song, and we instantly enjoyed it. We started mumbling until we came up with the right words/lyrics. It was a positive vibe, and we finished it quickly.”
The song is produced by DJ Citie while Mr Kangaroo did the mixing and mastering. According to Thwala, it was quite a nice experience working with the two, as they are both talented and humble.
He added, “The Afro-pop song has a bit of trap elements here and there. It’s a banger that suits the clubs and is easy to sing along to. It’s fresh sound from Emagagu! The quality is on another level. We would love to urge Emaswati to support us, stream the song, and follow us on all our social media platforms. We’re Emagagu_111 everywhere,” shared Thwala.
Last year in December the group dropped a song, titled ‘Kwekugcina’, a vibrant Afro-pop anthem.The trio is known for their ability to blend African rhythms with modern sounds, Emagagu’s latest track is a reflection of both their musical evolution and their keen understanding of the social issues that shape their community.
