Sossi and Armand Joubert Unleash “Slag” – A Fearless Electro-Pop Anthem Redefining Afrikaans Queer Expression

South Africa’s boldest new electro force, Sossi, has teamed up with powerhouse vocalist Armand Joubert to deliver “Slag” — a searing new club banger that redefines the word slay in Afrikaans. Blending high-voltage electro-pop, rap, and fierce queer energy, Slag is more than a track — it’s a cultural reset.

Where Worlds Collide in Sound and Spirit

Infused with pulsing beats, fiery lyrics, and unapologetic attitude, Slag represents a powerful moment in local music. It’s a collision of two creative forces pushing the envelope in both sound and identity.

“This is what it sounds like when two worlds collide in the club and don’t apologize for taking up space,” says Sossi, whose sharp Afrikaans flow cuts through the track like lightning.

Joubert adds, “We wanted to create something that celebrates individuality and power. It’s queer, it’s loud, it’s everything.”

Meet Sossi: Afrikaans Electro with an Edge

Sossi is the electrifying alter ego of Augusta Zietsman, a rising artist best known for her acting roles in Blood & Water and Dinge van ’n Kind. In 2023, she flipped the script on her career with the release of Breekgoed — a genre-blending EP that marked her shift from introspective indie to fearless electro provocateur.

Her music is loud, satirical, and razor-sharp — often poking at societal norms while celebrating fluidity, freedom, and self-expression. Songs like “Blok & Bless” have already hinted at her evolution, but Slag takes the rebellion to a new level.

With producer Peach van Pletzen and visual artist Regardt Visser shaping the sonic and aesthetic universe, Sossi is leading a revolution in Afrikaans music — one beat drop at a time.

Armand Joubert: Pure Vocal Fire

Pairing with Sossi on Slag is none other than Armand Joubert, one of the most dynamic vocalists on the South African music scene. Known for his genre-defying range, flamboyant style, and fearlessly queer artistry, Joubert’s voice ignites the track with passion and power.

Whether commanding the stage solo or lending his vocals to collaborative anthems, Joubert consistently raises the bar for what South African pop can be. On Slag, he doesn’t just sing — he dominates.

A New Soundtrack for the Bold and Unapologetic

Slag is more than a club track — it’s a manifesto. It speaks to a generation that refuses to dim its light, a celebration of queer identity in a language and space that is often conservative. The single dares to be different, unapologetically Afrikaans, and unapologetically queer.

It’s the sound of new South African dance floors — sweaty, radical, and real.
