Hot on the heels of her viral amapiano hit “Ndawana”, BET Award-winning artist Sha Sha returns with another banger to close out the year in style. Her latest single, “Eglasini”, sees her teaming up with Tyler ICU, Scotts Maphuma, 2woshort, and Tyrone Dee for a high-energy track that’s already capturing the spirit of South Africa’s infamous Dezember season.
Unlike traditional releases, “Eglasini” premiered exclusively on YouTube, using the platform to house this unreleased amapiano gem which has been trending on YouTube for music since its release and has garnered almost half a million views within 10 days of its release. The decision to bypass streaming platforms was deliberate, ensuring the song maintains its raw, authentic street appeal. It’s a track made for the people, embodying the vibrant energy of the festive season.
“Eglasini” thrives on its organic creation. Speaking on the collaboration, Sha Sha shared:
“The song is a high-energy jam for the streets, and we wanted to capture that festive vibe South Africans know and love. Baby S.O.N, Scotts, and 2woshort came to the studio, and ‘Eglasini’ just happened—it was pure magic. If you’re looking for the vibes, uzowathola Eglasini.”
