Benny Maverick has released the official music video for Uyadlala. He is known for his emotionally grounded songwriting, Benny has quietly built a reputation for making music that reflects real life situations rather than exaggerated narratives. His sound is a combination of contemporary Afro pop and street melodies. The artist is also known for strong focus on lyrics and mood. Uyadlala continues to show how creative and talented he is despite his young age.

Benny Maverick has shown a huge love for storytelling. His previous songs centred on love, disappointment, loyalty and self awareness. He is careful about the message he passes and doesn’t overload his songs with unnecessary effects. Instead, he allows the listeners to absorb the emotion gradually. Uyadlala shows maturity in song writing and delivery.

Lyrically, Benny Maverick addresses a situation where one person sends mixed signals and avoids being clear about their intentions. The title points to emotional games and inconsistency. Rather than reacting with anger, the lyrics express awareness and a quiet decision to step back from confusion. This approach makes the song real and relatable, especially for listeners who have experienced emotional trauma.

What the song teaches is about clarity. It emphasizes the importance of clarity, self respect and emotional boundaries. Benny Maverick presents the idea that recognizing confusion is the first step toward protecting oneself. The lesson is not forced, but it comes through naturally in the lyrics and tone of the song.

Instrumentally, Uyadlala is built on a smooth mid tempo beat that supports the emotional weight of the lyrics. The production is clean and balanced, with soft percussion, steady drum patterns and warm melodic elements layered underneath. The bass is controlled and supportive rather than dominant, allowing the vocals to remain front and center. The instrumental does not distract from the message, which shows careful production choices.

Benny Maverick’s vocal performance is bold and confident. He stays in a comfortable zone and avoids unnecessary vocal problems. This helps maintain the sincerity of the song and keeps him focused. The hook isn’t loud, and reinforces the power of the track.

The music video is well shot, with good lighting, clear camera angles and consistent visual flow. The video relies on mood, facial expressions and setting. This simplicity aligns with the song’s calm and introspective tone. The overall video quality shows the artists deep attention to details.

Uyadlala stands as a strong release that highlights Benny Maverick’s work. He combines meaningful lyrics, solid production and clean visuals.

Tems has announced the South African edition of her Leading Vibe Initiative (LVI), a programme supporting emerging women in music. The event is scheduled for 21 March 2026, with applications closing at the end of February.

The initiative was first launched in Lagos in August 2025, where it worked with Nigerian producers and songwriters. A second edition followed in Nairobi. South Africa is now the next host country as the programme expands its reach across the continent.

The South African edition is open to female artists, songwriters and producers aged between 18 and 35. Participants will take part in workshops, mentorship sessions and networking opportunities focused on songwriting, music production and the business side of the industry.

Sessions will cover production processes, songwriting development and music business fundamentals. Technology company Native Instruments will provide production hardware and software during the programme.

Women remain underrepresented in music production and executive roles globally, including in Africa. The initiative is designed to offer practical training and industry access to help address this imbalance.

Tems has previously spoken about building her career without formal mentorship, learning the technical and business aspects of music independently. She has described the initiative as an extension of that experience, aimed at giving other women access to structured support and professional networks.

The programme is backed by Hennessy, which has supported previous editions.

South Africa’s music industry spans genres including amapiano, hip-hop, jazz and R&B, with women increasingly visible as performers. However, production and executive spaces remain less accessible. The Leading Vibe Initiative’s local edition is expected to focus on strengthening skills and expanding industry connections for participants.

Applications are currently open ahead of the March event.
