Makhanj is one of those vocalists in the Amapiano scene whose voice continues to make a difference, and I am glad that the scene is beginning to appreciate her craft. Continuing to fill souls with more hot new music, she has just returned with a comprehensive collection of bangers she aptly tags “Transkei.”
The beauty of Amapiano is not just in the beats. Beats fade with time. It’s the vocals behind these productions that create lasting memories in the hearts of listeners and give the music a recognizable identity. One of the few talents consistently writing and delivering these meaningful vocals is Makhanj, and today, she returns with Transkei.
Transkei is a collection of 13 tracks. To bring this album to life, Makhanj teamed up with superb talents such as Nia Pearl, Mellow & Sleazy, Atmos Blaq, Stixx, Babalwa M, and more. Together, they deliver a series of tracks with a characteristically fierce sense of rhythm and musical depth.
The album explores the dominant Amapiano subgenres, including Private School Piano and Sgidongo, while also incorporating elements of 3-Step. Overall, Transkei is diverse and well-crafted, offering something for listeners with a wide range of musical tastes.
