Malawian reggae dancehall artist Kellie Devine is set to release her highly anticipated new single, “Wandi,” featuring rising Amapiano star Zeze Kingston. The track, scheduled for release this coming Monday, marks a bold fusion between the energetic vibes of dancehall reggae and the smooth, infectious rhythms of Amapiano.
Breaking New Ground
Kellie Devine, known for her vibrant presence in the Malawian music scene and her dedication to the reggae dancehall genre, has taken a surprising turn with “Wandi.” By teaming up with Zeze Kingston, a prominent figure in the Amapiano movement, Devine is exploring new musical territories, blending two distinct genres in what promises to be a groundbreaking collaboration.
In a recent social media post, Devine expressed her excitement about the collaboration: “This project has been a journey of discovery and growth. Working with Zeze has opened my eyes to new possibilities in music, and I can’t wait for you all to hear ‘Wandi’.”
Mixed Reactions from Fans
The announcement of this genre-blending collaboration has stirred diverse reactions among fans and critics alike. While many are eager to see how Devine’s dancehall roots will merge with the Amapiano beats, others are concerned about the potential dilution of her signature reggae sound.
On various social media platforms, some fans have expressed their curiosity and enthusiasm. “This is going to be fire! Two amazing artists from different worlds coming together,” one fan commented. However, not everyone shares this optimistic view. Another fan voiced their concerns, saying, “I hope Kellie doesn’t lose her reggae essence in trying to blend with Amapiano. It’s a risky move.”
