“When I Kneel” is a deep, spiritual-leaning Amapiano track that blends Poizen’s emotive musicality with Kabza De Small’s masterful, detail-rich production. It’s a song that carries both an intimate, almost meditative feel and the rhythmic pulse that defines the best of Amapiano.
The Bless and Poizen recently appeared on Nalona featuring Mr Abie.
The production is minimal yet immersive — Kabza builds a foundation of warm, velvety chords layered with airy synth textures, understated shakers, and rolling log drums that add a gentle push to the rhythm. There’s a patience in how the beat unfolds, giving the song a sense of spaciousness that invites reflection.
Poizen delivers tender, soulful vocals that feel personal and devotional. The lyrics, centered around themes of humility, gratitude, and seeking guidance, give the song an almost prayer-like quality. His voice carries emotional weight, blending vulnerability with quiet strength.
The interplay between the vocals and instrumental is where the track shines — Kabza allows Poizen’s delivery to lead, pulling back on heavy elements so the message and melody remain front and center. Subtle bass drops and instrumental flourishes surface at just the right moments, keeping the arrangement dynamic without overwhelming the listener.
