The gritty Raspy <\/strong>gives us her first EP: Heart Crisis<\/em>, a seven track EP that features two of the biggest Hip-Hop artists Blxckie <\/strong>and Bigstar Johnson<\/strong>. This EP is definitely the next wave in South African RnB.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This talented vocalist is the next big thing in SA, she has such a raw soothing voice with a sprinkle of a rasping pitch. This body of work has a beautiful story flow that takes us on a journey about her relationships from heartbreaks to finding peace and healing. Every song on the EP shows how versatile her voice is, from RnB sound to a pop tune singing in English to vernacular.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The first track on the EP Bad Energy <\/strong>has a groovy afrobeat tune which takes you on a voyage straight to Naija with her vocals giving off Jamaican vibes. In this one she basically entails she does not want no bad energy is needed from a guy who is still juggling two girls at once. Straight from this jam on to another is a song you will want to dedicate to your person after a fight; titled I\u2019m Sorry.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Just when you thought Raspy could not flex harder on us, she throws a jab in a beautiful vernacular song Buya; <\/strong>the song is authentic as she sings in IsiZulu which adds RnB a touch of uniqueness. Primo\u2019s Interlude <\/strong>is a definite show off, she hops on a smooth low tempo beat with her raspy vocals that link up the projects frame. This is her singing about her realisation that there is a thin line between love and lust the line crosses over, lyrically Raspy is killing it if there is any needed help to save South African RnB, we nominate Raspy!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The next two singles are both love songs, and they feature two of the biggest \u2018stars\u2019 in Hip-Hop, Stupid and Dumb<\/strong> features Blxckie which is her lead single. Love Things<\/strong> features Bigstar Johnson, it also has a beautiful story about choosing to love and never ending the feeling. The final single New Man <\/strong>is a \u201cboy bye\u201d anthem, showing off your new man to your old man because he could not step up. This EP is a beautiful craft, Sundays will never be same anymore.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Insight on the EP:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What inspired the EP?<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI was in a very vulnerable space, dealing with heartbreaks so I decided to sing about my journey in dating and open up about it because I had not spoken about this. I chose music as it was my escape and treated it as therapy to open up and talk about how I felt\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It’s women’s month, how does it feel making it in the industry as a woman?<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cMaking it is a win but making it as a woman in the industry surpasses the word \u2018win\u2019. The fact that I\u2019m able do what I love every day is already a win but to make it in this male dominated industry just makes me feel like I can do just about anything.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Nothing is Impossible, you create your limits\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What is your favourite song on the EP and why?<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cBuya <\/strong>is my favourite song because I was most vulnerable at that point in my life and it was the first time in a while I had been real about how I felt, it gives me joy to see I have overcome that phase and I am where I am now\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
