A previously SAMA nominated multi-genre music producer, DJ & Engineer, DrexxBeats, is set to captivate music lovers with the release of his latest single, “Sikhulekile”, featuring the soulful vocals of singer and songwriter, Sineym. The new release is a heartfelt celebration of love, commitment and cultural connection, wrapped in a distinctive sound that merges African musical influences into a fresh and contemporary offering.
Meaning “We Are Free”, Sikhulekile is a love song inspired by the promises couples make through wedding vows. The track explores the beauty of choosing love, building a future together, and embracing the freedom that comes from a relationship grounded in trust, loyalty and companionship.
At the heart of the song is a unique sonic identity that DrexxBeats describes as “Tribal House.” Rather than fitting neatly into a single genre, Sikhulekile blends multiple influences to create a sound that is both familiar and innovative. Drawing inspiration from Zimbabwean drums and percussion while incorporating the melodic appeal and accessibility of South African Afro-pop, the song reflects the shared musical heritage of Southern Africa.
“The vision was to create a song that feels authentic to who we are as Africans,” says DrexxBeats. “The percussion and rhythmic foundation are inspired by Zimbabwean music traditions, while the melodies and songwriting draw from South African Afro-pop. Bringing these influences together allowed us to create something that celebrates love while honouring our cultural roots.” He adds: “We hope the song appeals to fans of Afro-pop, house music and contemporary African sounds, while also finding a special place on wedding playlists and romantic celebrations.”
The result is an uplifting and emotionally resonant record that balances traditional rhythms with contemporary production. Sineym’s soulful vocal performance adds warmth and sincerity to the song, helping bring its message to life.
The release also marks another significant milestone in DrexxBeats’ creative journey following his participation in the 2026 AmaGroove Residency, a collaborative music programme that brings together Danish and some of Africa’s artists, producers and songwriters. The residency provided a platform for artistic exchange, experimentation and innovation, further inspiring DrexxBeats to explore new musical territories while remaining rooted in African storytelling.
“What I love most about Sikhulekile is that it speaks to different audiences at the same time,” says Sineym. “It has the energy that Afro-pop and house music fans will connect with, but it also carries a message of love and commitment that makes it perfect for weddings, anniversaries and other special moments. It’s the kind of song people can dance to but also hold close to their hearts.”
