Moonchild Sanelly – Sweet & Savage
Moonchild Sanelly is one of the most exciting artists to come out of South African in recent years. She’s worked with everyone from Beyoncé to Gorillaz, Wizkid, and Ghetts, yet it’s her unique brand of “future-ghetto-funk” that’s really won her an international audience. Defined by impassioned vocals and empowering lyrics, Sanelly’s incomparable style can be heard across her two striking studio albums ‘Rabulapha!’ (2015) and ‘Phases’ (2022). Most recently, she released ‘Scrambled Eggs’, an addictive Johan Hugo-produced track that is an ode to wealth and opulence.
For COLORS, Sanelly serves up a fierce rendition of her brand new single ‘Sweet & Savage’. Powered by a blistering electronic dance beat also produced by Johan Hugo, the track’s vibrant soundscape mirrors the artist’s playful delivery. In an infectious chorus, Sanelly asserts: “I’m a fighter I’m a lover / Tongue twisted pelican.” Watch the full performance on the site and make sure to keep an eye out for more music from Sanelly this year.
