Thandiwe – Chocolate

Following the release of her acclaimed debut EP ‘Beloved’ in 2024, Thandiwe is back with her latest single ‘chocolate’ as she embraces her defiant brand of soul music. Driven by the healing and inspiring nature of music, the single looks set to propel Thandiwe into 2025.

Making an excitable impression on the airwaves, ‘chocolate’ emerges from the expressive depths of creativity with an initial kick drum to set the tone. With a sound rooted in classic soul releases, ‘chocolate’ drifts across the airwaves with an alluring pop sentiment, helped along with a hint of R&B. Thandiwe commands an effortless danceable feel with the single’s irresistible grooves, moving alongside a carefully delivered, introspective vocal, breathing life into her pure lyricism.

“I wrote this song in honour of the sweet, intimate moments of love. So often chocolate is an offering we give to someone special in our life, and I wanted to create something that embodies the comfort, warmth, and joy we feel when we’re with the right person — someone who cherishes us as deeply as we cherish them.”

Making a name for herself as one half of the legendary duo OSHUN, Thandiwe is a truly boundary-pushing artist who makes resonant soul-enthused music. Releasing her debut EP ‘Beloved’ in 2024, her music spans decades of influences. Keeping her sound rooted in tradition, yet utilising her endlessly innovative nature, her sound draws from culturally rich and nostalgic tracks of the past, connecting people to both their emotions and their roots.
