Amapiano hitmaker Sam Deep returns with a bold and unapologetic new single titled ‘Space’, featuring the new voice of piano Thatohatsi and the talented Nvcho. The two vocalists have previously collaborated with Sam Deep on the hit single ‘Ekhaya’, further showcasing their chemistry and ability to deliver compelling music.
During a recent performance at The Balcony Mix Africa, Sam Deep and Nvcho played a set that included several unreleased tracks, among them was ‘Space’. The crowd's enthusiastic reception was echoed on social media, where clips of the performance were shared widely, accompanied by overwhelmingly positive comments, an early indication that fans are embracing this new release.
Thatohatsi opens the track with the striking and comedic ad-lib ‘uze nenye’, which loosely translates to ‘he’s come with another one’. In this context, it signifies another hit from Sam Deep, a sentiment many fans agree with. Her spunk and nonchalant attitude shine both in the track and through her video clips on TikTok, where she’s quickly becoming a fan favourite.
In ‘Space’, Thatohatsi takes on the role of the pleading voice in the relationship, a part that has become a standout verse across social media promos. Nvcho counters with a confident stance, asserting independence and emotional closure. Their interplay displays a raw yet common narrative that many will relate to. The track highlights the complexities of relationship and how dynamic the emotional shifts can be between love, misunderstandings and reconciliation.
Sam Deep’s production remains impeccable; clean, melodic, and carefully layered. With fresh piano chords and crisp beats, ‘Space’ reaffirms his ability to craft impactful, and sonically appealing Amapiano anthems.
