South African producer Kooldrink is back with a sonic masterpiece; this time, he’s preparing for a global takeover. His newest song, “Show Me,” is a compelling blend of the deep grooves of amapiano and the stickiness of pop; it’s music that works just as well in an oversubscribed nightclub as it does on international radio.
“Show Me” is packed with an infectious energy that’s hard not to go along with. The signature rolling log drums of amapiano give the track a hypnotic pulse while the sleek melodic layers and pristine production take it far beyond a mere club banger; it’s a certified crossover anthem. Kooldrink skilfully builds an innovative sound with hints of familiarity, drawing in fans of house, afrobeat, and mainstream pop.
“Show Me” has an intoxicating rhythm and haunting melody, and the song has a warmth that makes you want to move. “The 3rd Wave,” featuring the late South African rapper Amapiano and the vocalists Asake and 40 Nassi, is the type of track that could easily set festival stages around the world ablaze, a testament to Amapiano’s boundless far when paired with the right components.
