Samthing Soweto’s long-awaited return with Touch is a Move (Good Morning) showcases exceptional vocal storytelling, genuine authenticity, and refined sonic subtlety. Famed for his distinctive falsetto and his talent for merging different musical styles, Samthing employs this album as a platform for expressing himself from a position of healing, introspection, and calm self-assurance.

Samthing Soweto and Blxckie made a recent appearance on Ama Get Down.

This album focuses on unadorned arrangements – subtle Amapiano undertones, minimalist acoustic passages, and soulful jazz influences – rather than pursuing popular radio tracks or fleeting musical trends. Each track appears carefully thought out, as if a personal journal entry had been converted into song. Themes of self-love, heartbreak, rediscovery, fatherhood, and spirituality are threaded throughout lyrics that have a poetic quality while also being brutally sincere.

Standouts such as ‘Amagents II’, ‘Wena’, and the vulnerable ‘Nal’ibali’ demonstrate his delicate balance between fragility and strength. Even in his songs about hardship, there’s a sense of elegance in the way he sings.

Touch is a movement that serves as a spiritual reboot — a morning soundtrack for the soul. It doesn’t make a loud outcry. It stays alongside you. A stunning comeback from one of South Africa’s most talented musical narrators.
