Cape Town based singer and dancer Yanga Madlala; performing as Yanga YaYa drops his first single in 2018. You know Shekhinah’s song Please Mr music video? Well Yanga is the mister dancing throughout the song. You may also know his collaboration with longtime friend Muzi on Desire, the two recently dropped visuals for the song inspired by late tennis player Arthur Ashe. Yanga has also been featured on GQ South Africa, so you bound to have seen his name somewhere.

Now Yanga offers us a smooth classic sounding R&B/Soul ballad – with **It Happens. He takes us through a journey of making mistakes and not being too hard on yourself about them. Breaking promises and evidently learning from those mistakes and the people that you love. He even explores the topic of loving someone who might want to change you. **It Happens is a mature and silky approach. Through the layer of maturity and chic delivery, Yanga still finds common ground and relates well with his peers. With his subject matter being something that plenty of us can relate to.

**It Happens sounds like Sunday afternoon music, with linen curtains blowing in the wind along with melodic wind chimes in the patio. You could group Yanga with a group of artist such as Langa Mavuso and Tronpyre. Rich soul music that we’re hardly exposed to nowadays. Yanga doesn’t drop a lot of music, I hope this signifies the start of a good thing and even potentially a full body of work.
