Busiswa Unleashes New Era with ‘Honey & Grace’ EP: A Bold Evolution in Sound and Spirit

Busiswa, South Africa’s powerhouse performer and poetic queen of the dancefloor, has just unveiled her most emotionally raw and genre-blurring project yet: a six-track EP titled Honey & Grace. And while the sound may be new, the message is clear—this isn’t a reinvention, it’s a revelation.

Speaking at the launch, Busiswa made it clear: “It’s not a transition, it’s evolution.” Known for her fearless bars and genre-defying presence, she rejects the idea of being boxed in. Whether it’s gospel tomorrow or reggae next year, her artistry remains tethered only to her passion. Right now, that passion is dancing to the beat of global rhythms.

The journey to Honey & Grace took Busiswa to Berlin—not by design, but by destiny. What began as a trip quickly evolved into a fertile space for collaboration. “They understand African dance music, but they also understand their own,” she said of the city’s thriving scene. The creative energy of Berlin became the backdrop for her most personal body of work to date.

Unlike her previous projects built on the energetic backbones of Gqom and Amapiano, Honey & Grace dives deep into melodic techno and soulful house textures. It’s an unexpected pivot for some fans, but Busiswa isn’t fazed. “South Africans love music. That’s what I normally know,” she said, playing on the assumption that she should stick to one style. For her, music is less about labels and more about emotion, rhythm, and exploration.

The new EP also marks a shift in how Busiswa uses her voice. Known for her powerful spoken word and explosive rap delivery, she now sings—raw, vulnerable, and unapologetically. “The whole time I’ve been in the industry, people think they normally know,” she said with a smirk. “But who wants to be normally?” Her voice on this record is not only melodic, but deeply expressive, unlocking an even richer dimension of her artistry.

Honey & Grace also boasts a global cast of collaborators. From Zimbabwe’s genre-fluid DJ Charisse C to American house music icon Monique Bingham, and newer names like BERNT and Let Me You, Busiswa has assembled a collective that spans borders and sounds. It’s not just a collection of tracks—it’s a celebration of creativity without limits.

Among the EP’s standout moments is “man2man,” a beautifully layered dance track that blends heartfelt vulnerability with emotional production. It’s a love letter to connection in its purest form, proving that dance music can hold space for softness and intimacy.

As the launch wrapped, Busiswa left fans with one final reminder of her ever-growing identity. “I’m somebody’s mom now, guys… so don’t be so mean to me on social media,” she joked, smiling. But even with new layers of maturity and motherhood, she’s still unmistakably Busiswa—bold, genreless, and full of grace.

Honey & Grace is now available on all major streaming platforms. Dive in, and experience a new era from one of Africa’s most dynamic voices.
