Johannesburg – Contrary to popular belief, Valentine’s Day is not only about romance.
It’s a day to celebrate all the things you love – including music.
For the loveliest day of the year, global music streaming service Deezer paired up with Mzansi vocal sensation Nomcebo Zikode to launch an exclusive “Music is Love” playlist.
The songstress, synonymous for singing about peace, hope and love, has put together her collection of personal favourites for listeners to enjoy.
In addition to some of her hits, Jerusalema and Xola Moya Wam, fans can expect to hear tracks from fellow South African artists; Zahara, Focalistic and ShaSha, as well as global hits like Fallin by Alicia Keys and Beyonce’s I Was Here.
The KZN-born singer, who made music waves across the world with her breakout vocal on Master KG’s hit anthem Jerusalema, continues to shine bright.
Watch:
Last year, her solo hit Xola Moya Wam maintained the number one spot for most streamed track for seven weeks running and was also the eighth-most streamed South African track on Deezer in 2020.
