Gigi LaMayne launches a revolution in sound as she enters her new musical era with her latest single ‘Menzi Ngubane.’
This new track offers a glimpse into what fans can anticipate from the artist's forthcoming album.
In ‘Menzi Ngubane,’ she teams up with a star-studded line-up including Robot Boii, Lady Du, MustBeDubz, and Ntosh Gazi.
‘Menzi Ngubane’ is a blend of Hip Hop, Amapiano, and Afrobeat that encapsulates Gigi LaMayne's talent for merging genres and creating a sound that is unmistakably her own.
"In my home, music knew no boundaries. From the unique sounds of the Commodores to Whitney Houston's power, we embraced it all. I watched as my family played sounds from around the world on our old radio. I began as a poet and found my way into this wonderful world of music," says Gigi LaMayne.
She added: "Hip hop is a playground of versatility, a space that's both fluid and defined. It's adopted samples, symphonies, 808’s, and gospel vocals all in the name of creativity. Why not invite hip hop into other genres? I see myself as an instrument of hip hop, and these genres as the sounds of world music. Drawing inspiration from South Africa to Ibiza to Nigeria, I strive to create a perfect world music offering, still inspired by the sounds of Africa. Amapiano and Afrobeat are on the rise, and I want to infuse them with some hip hop flavour. Rhymes and melodies: That's my showcase from Africa to the world."
Gigi's musical journey is a testament to her diverse upbringing and global influences.
Beyond ‘Menzi Ngubane,’ Gigi has more surprises in store. An upcoming collaboration with UK artist Megatronic promises a fusion of cultural influences that will further cement Gigi LaMayne's status as a boundary-pushing artist.
