Lungi Naidoo returns after a long break with her new Afrobeats flavoured single, ‘Feel Good’. The track comes from the South African singer and songwriter’s upcoming new EP, ‘COURAGE’, set for release on September 24, and will be available across all streaming platforms. You can pre-save ‘COURAGE’ here<\/a>. Stream and download ‘Feel Good’\u00a0here<\/a>.<\/strong><\/h4>\n

Lungi Naido has had a 20 year journey in the music industry so far, and it’s her hope for her EP ‘COURAGE’ that it helps those who may have given up. She wants those people to know that they matter as does their story, no matter what the circumstances.<\/p>\n

‘Feel Good’ was co-written by Ghanaian producer and artist, GuiltyBeatz, who is best known for his hit ‘AKWAABA’, alongside London- based Zimbabwean artist Donel Mangena, & UK producer and songwriter Dantae Johnson. Speaking about the meaning of the lyrics, Lungi said:<\/p>\n

\n

\u201cThis song is about me, in every way. Sometimes when you\u2019re down\u00a0you’ve got to envision your happiness as if you are already in that space. This song is about me giving praise in advance for all the blessings I am going to receive. To own one\u2019s Queendom and feel\u00a0good about it unapologetically.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

The ‘COURAGE’ EP sees Dantae Johnson return as co-writer; additionally he recorded and produced it at The Woods Studios in London. The EP was mixed & executive produced by Pete \u2018Boxsta\u2019 Martin at the Matrix Studio complex.<\/p>\n
