De Rose Releases New Single ‘Dali’ From Her Upcoming Album 9 TO 5

Durban-born singer-songwriter De Rose returns with her captivating new single “Dali,” available on all streaming platforms today. The single is lifted from her highly anticipated upcoming album 9 to 5 and follows the success of her recent release Msotra featuring Thebhz and Frank Mabeat.

“Dali” tells the story of two lovers separated by distance, holding on to each other through love and laughter. The woman playfully asks, “How much does a military pay for a woman to marry him?” – a humorous yet heartfelt question that explores the value of love and the lengths we go to for connection.

Behind the lighthearted tone lies a deeper truth – a story of commitment, trust, and the kind of love that endures despite distance or circumstance.

“Dali is about real love – the kind that’s patient, playful, and still chooses you no matter the distance,” says De Rose. “It’s a reminder that sometimes, love doesn’t have to be perfect — it just has to be real.”

The song, layered with soulful vocals and rich Afro-fusion production, showcases De Rose’s signature storytelling and emotional honesty. “Dali” offers a glimpse into her upcoming album 9 to 5, which delves into themes of love, ambition, and the modern woman’s balance between heart and hustle.
