Giselle Niemand Releases New Single “Fake Love”

South African rising pop star Giselle Niemand has released her highly anticipated single, “Fake Love,” a track combining emotional storytelling, soulful vocals, and polished international pop production. The song is produced and mastered by Grammy-nominated producer Manny Mijares, known for his work with Dua Lipa, Kelly Rowland, Pitbull, and Craig David.

“Fake Love” explores themes of self-worth and recognizing insincere relationships. Giselle delivers the message with sincerity and maturity beyond her years, turning personal experiences into a song that resonates globally. “It feels amazing to finally share this song. I’ve been holding onto it for a while. Seeing fans connect with the lyrics means so much to me. ‘Fake Love’ is emotional, but it’s also empowering,” Giselle shares.

Giselle’s collaboration with Manny Mijares began after he discovered her at the World Championships of Performing Arts in Los Angeles. Since then, she has been recording in the United States under his guidance, crafting a global pop sound while maintaining her South African roots. “Working with Manny has changed my life. He brings out the best in me, and we’re creating more music that I can’t wait for the world to hear,” she says.

The single balances international production polish with Giselle’s authentic tone. Her vocals remain warm, honest, and emotionally expressive, highlighting the soulful qualities South African artists are celebrated for.

The official “Fake Love” music video is now live on her YouTube channel. It features a cinematic masquerade ball, symbolizing illusion and the contrast between real and fake love. The visuals reflect the song’s themes with striking storytelling, drama, and beauty.

Still in her teens, Giselle balances school, music, and a growing international career with support from her family and mentors. “Fake Love” demonstrates her artistic growth, showcasing confidence, refinement, and readiness for the global stage.

With more singles, upcoming performances across South Africa, and international collaborations in progress, “Fake Love” marks the beginning of a significant new chapter for Giselle Niemand.
