DJ and radio personality SUPTA, releases his latest single “Khuleka” featuring Basetsana.
Ahead of his upcoming EP, SUPTA releases his latest upbeat Afrotech single “Khuleka”, featuring house vocalist Basetsana. ‘Khuleka’ is a reimagination of Josh Groban’s classic ‘Remember When It Rained ‘and touches on SUPTA’s dedication to making music that inspires his fans. The track takes the listener on a spiritual and liberating voyage, where Basetsana’s melodies leads the listener to a state of tranquillity and a vision of a new dawn.
SUPTA describes “Khuleka” to be an inspiring reminder that every day is a new day to start a fresh, a new day to forget about all of yesterday’s rejections and failures. He further adds:
“The core message of the song is to remind you that when the sun rises, it means hope, it means new beginnings.”
“Khuleka” stands as SUPTA’s second single release from his upcoming EP slated for release in the second half of the year and will feature some of SUPTA’s long lasting collaborators including Peekay Mzee, Jim Mastershine, Thalitha, Basetsana, and a surprise feature.
For anyone looking for a sign to start a fresh, remember to khuleka and trust the process.
