Durex Launches Blxckie And Mx Blouse-Featuring Single ‘Forever’ From Upcoming ‘ForPlay’ EP

'Forever’, the first single to the upcoming ‘ForPlay’ EP by condom and personal lubricant brand Durex SA, was revealed at an exclusive launch hosted at The Venue – Green Park – in Morningside last week. 

Blxckie performed ‘FOREVER’ with left field rapper Mx Blouse before delivering his hit-laden set. 

Speaking on the song, Blxckie told SlikourOnLife: 

“It was one of the last songs we did. Muzi came and he said I got this beat. I think Mx Blouse was already on it, and all I had to do was add my flair, singing vibes. They were rapping and if someone’s rapping on a song, I gotta be different.”

Also performing on the night were Nanette and Yolophonik, artists who have contributed to the Durex ‘ForPlay’ EP. 

Other artists that contributed to the ‘ForPlay’ EP include Muzi, Money Badoo, Tshego, Gemma Fassie, Mx Blouse, Thando Nje, Una Rams, Musa Keys and Ricky Tyler.

The idea behind the production of the EP was driven by Durex’s mission to find ways to merge the worlds of music and sexual liberation – where everyone can be their authentic sexual self. 

“We are delighted to share with South Africa the magical debut single of our perfectly curated EP, ‘Forplay’,” said Masibonge Mkhize, Head of Corporate Communications, External Affairs and Partnerships at Durex. “Ours is to drive the purpose of fighting against sexual shame and stigma, and to unleash the freedom to be your true self through the creation of a world of sexual security where we drive a message through significant touchpoints aligned to our brand. Music is our pillar – it is an integral part of creating the vibe anywhere, and it is also a unifier across cultures and occasions.

“Music is void of gender, sexual orientation, culture and race. As a brand we are proud to stand for this. This is a big highlight of the journey that Durex SA has been on and, we hope you love this as much as we do.”

‘Forever’ and the full EP are out soon.
