GoodLuck and Shamzisto have teamed for the remix to the his popular love ballad, “Thandiwe”.
Through this new version, the award-winning electronic band, which comprises of Juliet Harding, her partner Ben Peters and Tim Welsh, hope that their fans will feel “connected, nostalgic and magical”.
“This track is more than just a fusion of two musical styles, it’s a deeply emotional love story, told through music that transcends almost all boundaries,” a statement explained.
“The magic of ‘Thandiwe’ lies in its ability to resonate on both personal and universal levels and it is a love song that brings people together, whether through a quiet moment of reflection or a shared dancefloor experience.”
It added that it fuses GoodLuck’s signature uplifting electronic energy with Shamzisto’s soulful sound.
“‘Thandiwe’ captures the essence of connection and passion.”
The band and the “iPlan” hitmaker came together after Harding stumbled upon Shamzisto’s acapella performance of the original show after his video went viral on social media and the artist’s raw emotion resonated with her.
“I had no idea what the song was about when I first heard it, but the melody and the way he sang it just spoke to my soul,” Harding added.
“I used to play it as a lullaby for my newborn baby Skylar in the first few weeks after she was born and even though the vocal was so deeply connected and nostalgic, I could imagine a version for the dancefloor so I chatted to Ben and we made one.”
‘’What was really special to me was the fact that a lot of the people that resonated with the song had absolutely no idea what I was singing about.”
Shamzisto was also thrilled to work with the group.
“When the opportunity to work with the powerhouse that is Goodluck presented itself, it was a no-brainer really.”
“Two different sounds coming together to create something that truly transcends language and traditional genre boundaries. Who knows? We might have a new sound.’’
While “”Thandiwe” was only released on September 20, it has already become one of the band’s best streamed songs.
It even caught the attention of Chill Your Mind, one of the world’s top international house music labels from Germany which has further amplified its global reach.
“This collaboration between GoodLuck and Shamzisto is poised to leave a lasting mark on the global music scene, showcasing the power of authentic connection through music.”
