Influenced by Bonobo, Nkosazana Daughter, Sade, Burial. Nomvula Haze was raised in the Bluff, a Durban suburb where the air tastes of sea salt and diesel from the nearby port. She learned to sing by humming melodies to her younger brother while their father, a long-haul truck driver, was away on the road. Her music is steeped in that specific atmosphere of waiting: for a person to return, for a coastal storm to break. Her downtempo amapiano tracks, blending English and Zulu over deep log drums, are soundscapes of a life lived in the humid, industrial heart of South Africa's busiest harbour.

Lyrics

[Verse 1]
The St. Joseph's lily on the sill turns brown.
It's the second week of June again, Gogo.
This whole city holds its breath.
And the low-pressure you left me
Is heavy in this house, an inherited weather.

[Chorus]
Oh, Gogo, release the air from my lungs.
Let the east wind blow through.

[Verse 2]
"The sea remembers names," you said, that once.
The salt is brittle on the window pane.
The heat sits on my skin like a second name.
I still wait by the door, listening for the change.

[Chorus]
Oh, Gogo, release the air from my lungs.
Let the east wind blow through.

[Bridge]
Did you feel this too?
This static in the blue?

[Outro]
The air is still.
