Toya Delazy Offers Boy-Free Fairytale In New Single

South African born MC, artist, founder, and activist, Toya Delazy, talks transcending tradition with infectious new single, Find Di Boy, out Friday, 10 July.

Delazy’s hypnotic and effortless vocal delivery disguises a poignant tale of breaking binary norms to find love in the new track. Bringing a self-produced afrobeat infused sound, it’s a fitting tempo switch for the pioneer of beat-heavy ‘Afro-Rave’ joints. 

Delazy says: “Going back to basics these recent months has made me realise that human love is all that’s guaranteed. It reminded me of years spent chasing a fake ‘fairytale’ and feeling rejected, just because I didn’t know that love comes in every and any form. It’s a pretty personal one for me, lockdown got me in my feels, and I wanted to reflect that moment in time. The Afro-Rave baseline will be back though!”

A household name in her native South Africa, Delazy’s known not just for her visionary artistry, but also for using her platform to champion equality, such as challenging racist school curriculums, and voicing the first black Powerpuff Girl. 

Find Di Boy is available for download and streaming on all digital platforms (Apple Music | Spotify | Deezer | Google Play) from Friday, 10 July 2020.
