Johannesburg, South Africa – South African amapiano sensation Khalil Harrison sits down with Nandi Madida this week on Apple Music 1’s Africa Now Radio, sharing intimate details about his journey, inspirations, and the making of his album, ‘Uzwile Bathini.’ The episode, airing this Friday, February 7th, also features a selection of the week’s hottest new African tracks, including music from Rema, Joeboy & Tempoe, Peruzzi, TRESOR & Sofiya Nzau, and Cassper Nyovest.
In a candid conversation, Harrison reveals the profound impact of losing his mother at a young age, explaining how it instilled in him focus, respect, and a sense of responsibility. “I’m grateful for everything that happened to me,” Harrison shares. “I wouldn’t be where I’m at today without it.” He also opens up about the motivating force behind his music, citing a friend’s struggles as a catalyst for his own dedication. “I just want to do this thing and make it happen,” he says, “because I know that this bro would’ve wanted me to do it proper.”
Harrison discusses the meteoric rise of his hit song “Jealousy,” which he says continues to resonate with audiences years after its release. “It’s the song that made me realise that actually, we are doing something,” he reflects. He also delves into the creation of his album, ‘Uzwile Bathini,’ revealing the year-long process and the collaborative spirit that fueled its completion. “A lot of songs were removed,” Harrison admits, highlighting the dedication to crafting the perfect project. He praises his Baby Blue team for their support and guidance, including their strategic advice to delay the album’s release to avoid the crowded December music scene.
