“Goodmorning” by Samthing Soweto is a soul-baring, minimalist masterpiece that sets the tone for emotional rebirth and quiet self-reflection. Acting as the spiritual centerpiece of his project Touch is a Move, this track is less about morning as a time of day — and more about morning as a new beginning, a reset of the heart and mind.

The production is beautifully sparse. Acoustic guitar riffs glide gently over a bed of ambient textures, allowing Samthing’s unfiltered, trembling vocals to take center stage. He sings in a soft falsetto, filled with cracks and honesty, as if waking up from emotional exhaustion and slowly trying to gather his strength again.
The lyrics feel like a letter to himself — part apology, part affirmation — as he navigates through themes of loneliness, vulnerability, mental health, and quiet hope. It’s the kind of song that doesn’t perform; it confesses. Each “Goodmorning” he sings sounds like a fragile attempt to speak life into himself again.
This track isn’t made for the club. It’s made for early morning solitude, soft crying, healing baths, or moments where the soul needs a voice braver than yours to carry your emotions.
