Takunda and Seth Singer Return With New Afro-Pop Album After Super Bowl & Netflix Placements

By -



The official artwork for Afro Pop South Africa visually captures the spirit of the album — bold, vibrant, expressive, and unmistakably African. Its colours and playful textures mirror the album’s sonic direction: Afro-Pop that celebrates rhythm, culture, and modern global appeal.

March continues to mark an important chapter in the creative journey of Takunda and Seth Singer (Siphosethu Ngcetane). At the end of March, the duo will officially release their second collaborative album under West One Music, building on a partnership that has already achieved global recognition through high-profile music placements.

The new project, titled Afro Pop South Africa, represents growth, refinement, and a confident evolution in sound — rooted in African identity while speaking fluently to international audiences.

The Journey Began: AMAPIANO (March 28, 2023)

The collaboration between Takunda and Seth Singer began with their debut joint album, AMAPIANO, released on 28 March 2023. What set this project apart was its immediate impact beyond streaming platforms.

AMAPIANO was crafted with a strong publishing and sync vision — and that intention quickly translated into real-world results.




Major Global Placements from the AMAPIANO Album

Multiple singles from the AMAPIANO album have been successfully licensed and featured across major international productions, including:

  • Super Bowl (NFL Commercial) – music featured in an official Super Bowl advertisement
  • Bad Influencer – South African television series
  • Meet the Khumalo’s – South African feature film
  • Blood & Water (Netflix) – globally streamed Netflix series
  • Blood Legacy (Netflix) – Netflix original series

These placements highlight the album’s cinematic quality, emotional depth, and broadcast-ready production, positioning Takunda and Seth Singer as trusted creators within the global music-for-screen ecosystem.

A New Sound Direction: Afro-Pop with Purpose

While AMAPIANO leaned into groove-driven, percussive textures, Afro Pop South Africa expands into a broader Afro-Pop soundscape.

Listeners can expect:

  • Emotion-led songwriting
  • Contemporary Afro-Pop production
  • African rhythms with global accessibility
  • Music designed for both audiences and screen placement

This album reflects confidence, clarity, and creative maturity — a natural progression rather than a departure.

Built for Longevity

In line with West One Music’s publishing philosophy, Afro Pop South Africa is designed for long-term value. Each track is composed to live comfortably across streaming platforms, film, television, advertising, and live performance.

This second album is not just a follow-up — it is confirmation of a focused, sustainable creative partnership.
