SEPTEMBER 2016 (Johannesburg, South Africa) – What happens when South Africa collaborates
with Nigeria? What happens when a Rap meets House? And what happens when Gospel
music is taken to the streets? Well, the world is about to find out. Versatile musician MAWAT has released new
music in the form of “EVERYWHERE”, the third single from his forthcoming full
length album BLESSED. With an upbeat tempo, thumping base and a catchy
hook, “EVERYWHERE” is an all African urban soundtrack.
“EVERYWHERE,”
which is produced by Kadance (of L’Vovo
ft. Mampintsha – Next Better Man fame), features Nigerian crooner Devyne.
This single is an unexpected offering from a rapper as it is a House/Dance
tune. The catchy reprise: “Wangithatha la - Wangibeka la (He took me from here, to there)”, is popular to South African
church folk and is the secret ingredient to making the song so easy to
remember. Accompanied by a hectic, commercial dance instrumentation, EVERYWHERE
is the perfect spring sing-along.
When asked
to describe the genesis of “EVERYWHERE,” MAWAT mentioned that: ”…the song is simply about God’s
omnipresence, from Mzansi to Naija, ghetto to the burbs, church to the
sheebeens, He is everywhere.”
MAWAT,
born Siyabonga Xulu, is an award-winning producer and rapper who holds a SAMA nomination for Best Urban Gospel
and has won the Best Gospel Rap award for the Ingoma and the SABC Crown
Gospel Awards. His debut album BLESSED will be available in stores
nationwide from the 30th of September 2016.
