“Soze” — translating to “Never” in isiZulu — is a powerful ballad wrapped in a Private School Amapiano shell. This collaboration between DJ Jaivane and The Bless features an emotionally raw vocal performance from Russell Zuma, supported by Basaya and the warm saxophone tones of Sipho Magudulela.
DJ Jaivane and Kabza De Small recently appeared on Nilavha Wena featuring Basaya & Wesley Keys.
The song reflects on lost love, unfulfilled promises, and emotional boundaries, with Russell Zuma repeating a refrain that suggests letting go or setting limits: “Soze ngiphinde” (I’ll never go back). Sipho’s saxophone lines echo the heartbreak with soulful phrasing, adding an almost jazz-like dimension to the track. The beat remains restrained, letting the melody and message lead.
