Surrender to the ravishing voice of the rising pop star behind enchanting and emotionally charged debut album You Will Not Die.
Born 30 years ago in Alice, a small town on the eastern Cape of South Africa, Nakhane has a devastatingly beautiful voice and plenty to express with it.
You Will Not Die excavates his religious upbringing, his need to renounce Christianity after feeling that it was incompatible with his queerness, and his periods of depression and anxiety.
But thereâs also love, joy and self-acceptance, not least on the title track, in which Nakhane realises that despite the traumatic events heâs been through, heâll survive.
You Will Not Die sees Nakhane balance beauty and pain throughout its 11 tracks, whether itâs the airy fragility of piano ballad âYou Will Not Dieâ, the spiritual languor of âPresbyteriaâ or the oppressive yet magically atmospheric âThe Deadâ.
