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.”
With Tyler ICU’s impeccable production, 2woshort and Tyrone Dee’s infectious bars, and Scotts Maphuma’s distinct vocal style, “Eglasini” is an explosive track that speaks to the joy and togetherness synonymous with South Africa’s December culture. It’s a song that invites everyone to hit the dance floor and revel in the good times.
Sha Sha continues to ride the wave of her viral hit single “Ndawana”, which features amapiano pioneer Kelvin Momo and Sykes. With millions of streams globally and a dedicated TikTok challenge that captured audiences across borders, Sha Sha solidified her place as one of amapiano’s leading voices in 2024.
As fans enjoy “Eglasini”, Sha Sha remains laser-focused on her craft. With more collaborations, live performances, and a highly anticipated album on the horizon, the amapiano queen is gearing up to make 2025 even more spectacular.
