    De’Max Releases Amapiano Single “Push It”

    South African Soul Amapiano artist and producer De’Max has released a new single titled “Push It”, a track that combines deep Amapiano log drums, Afrobeats-inspired rhythms, and vocal delivery focused on motivation and persistence.

    The song is built around a simple message: stop waiting for the right moment and act. Across its verses and hook, De’Max uses direct lines such as “Nothing moves if you don’t” and “Push it when it’s heavy, push it when it’s hard” to reinforce the theme of forward movement and self-drive.

    Positioned between club energy and reflective songwriting, “Push It” aims to work both as a dancefloor track and a motivational record. It leans on Amapiano’s percussive foundation while layering emotional vocals that speak to hesitation, fear of failure, and delayed ambition.

    Speaking about the release, De’Max shared:

    “I made ‘Push It’ for every person sitting on a dream, waiting for a sign. The sign is the song. Move.”

    De’Max is based in Lydenburg, Mpumalanga and describes his sound as “Soul Amapiano” a style that blends Amapiano’s log drum-driven production with Afrobeats influences and melodic elements.

    “Push It” by De’Max is out now on all streaming platforms.

  • Twicy Shares Cover of Michael Jackson’s “Rock With You”

    Twicy Shares Cover of Michael Jackson’s “Rock With You”

    Ghanaian Afrobeats artist Twicy is putting his own spin on a classic with the release of his new single, “Rock With You”, a cover of Michael Jackson’s iconic 1979 hit of the same name.

    Rather than attempting to recreate the original record, Twicy leans into contemporary Afrobeats influences, blending smooth melodies, rhythmic percussion and laid-back production to give the song a fresh feel. The result is a version that pays tribute to the original while introducing it to a younger audience more familiar with today’s African pop sound.

    Originally written by Rod Temperton and produced by Quincy Jones, Michael Jackson’s Rock With You remains one of the defining records from the legendary Off The Wall album and continues to influence generations of artists across different genres.

    For Twicy, the song, released on March 3rd, adds another familiar title to a growing catalogue that has seen him experiment with different sounds while maintaining an Afrobeats foundation. The Ghanaian singer has steadily built a name for himself through songs such as Live It Up, Lotto and Monalisa, earning recognition in Ghana and beyond.

    His version of Rock With You focuses on the song’s timeless themes of connection and enjoyment, while introducing a more relaxed Afro-fusion groove. While some listeners may prefer the nostalgia and disco energy of the original, Twicy’s take offers a different perspective that fits comfortably within today’s Afrobeats landscape.

    As more African artists continue to revisit and reinterpret global classics, Rock With You serves as another example of how familiar records can find new life through modern sounds and different cultural influences.

    ”Rock With You “ by Twicy is out now on all streaming platforms.
