Sharp is a deep, emotive Afro-house track that highlights Citizen Deep’s ability to blend soulful textures with polished, club-ready production. Released in September 2025, the song showcases a collaboration with vocalists Tete and Leko M, who each bring a unique dimension to the sound. The production is refined and layered, built on warm percussion, smooth basslines, and atmospheric synths that create a hypnotic yet grounded rhythm. Citizen Deep leans into restraint here, preferring gradual progression and emotional depth over heavy drops, which makes the song feel immersive and timeless.
Thakzin, Atmos Blaq and Mpho.Wav recently appeared on Imali Yephepha featuring Suffocate SA, Citizen Deep, Divine Keys and Baby S.O.N.
The vocals are at the heart of the track. Tete delivers her parts with a raw edge, injecting passion and vulnerability, while Leko M’s voice provides a complementary balance—softer, measured, and reflective. Together, their interplay creates a conversational quality that feels intimate and engaging, as if the song is exploring both sides of a dialogue. Their delivery ties perfectly into the song’s title, Sharp, which in South African slang conveys smoothness, clarity, and being “on point.”
Musically, the track is designed to work in multiple spaces—it has enough groove and low-end drive to resonate on the dancefloor, but its melodic elegance and vocal depth make it just as powerful in reflective listening sessions. What makes Sharp stand out is how it avoids overproduction. Instead of aiming for spectacle, it leans on emotional resonance, slowly layering sounds to create momentum and mood.
