Teejay Mokoena offers his second single of the year, the eagerly anticipated modern-day wedding song titled ‘Umakoti’ featuring Sony Music chart-topping artist, Mia, and record producer Tr!x_thykingdom.
Dubbed as the modern-day wedding song by the artist, 'Umakoti' has all the qualities to be the new anthem at South African Weddings.
‘Umakoti’ has been in the works since 2022. The song which comprises additional background vocals from TND and Kray ATM, was co-produced by Tr!x_thykingdom. The single was intensified with a rich and authentic saxophone piece that Jaz played over the vocals, as well as the keys that Blaq Note played during a SOL Distro studio camp in Sandton. The two connected over social media when Mia released her debut single, ‘What Is Love?’. Her powerful vocal performance fulfilled her purpose of depicting the love and emotion one should have when listening to the song.
Teejay Mokoena delivers a sing-songy rap performance about a love he has felt for a girl who wishes to make a wife, and how through the uncertainty of love he wants to be with her forever to the point that his family would love to meet her. The chorus encapsulates the traditional ‘Umakoti ngowethu’ which has been sung for decades at South African weddings and lobola negotiations, making this an authentic South African love story. Mia further ties the song, as if she is replying to what Teejay was saying, expressing her feelings to a partner on how she felt from the moment they met.
Teejay further displayed his creativity with the rollout plan announcing the single with a wedding invitation idea and encouraging viewers to RSVP (in place of Pre-saving/Pre-adding) the song. He further, gave credit to all the contributors of the song from a production point of view, where he shared their images and introduced them as his groomsmen and uncles.
