Gugulethu singer and songwriter, Nina Stamper, returns to the spotlight this Heritage Month with the release of her latest music single, Language of Love.
Nina says she is ready for South Africa to finally hear what she has been working on in the studio during the pandemic, after previously releasing two albums, Unleashed in 2012 and Ewe#Yes in 2017.
Her music can best be described as global, and combines a variety of different styles and influences, including Afro-Soul, Jazz, Pop and even House.
She describes her new song as “empowering”.
“For me, writing this song felt easy to do and I felt a great sense of validation in bringing this song to life,” says Nina.
“I don’t negate the role of our male counterparts but the song starts out by addressing any insecurities our male counterparts might have.
“It tells them that look, we want you in our lives but we just recognise love differently.
“Also the song addresses the narrative about women being rocks, so here I try to remove that pressure from women by saying I’m not actually a rock, I just want to be loved and treated fairly.”
Nina says her music reflects her journey through life and aspirations of becoming a musician.
“This song proves that my feelings, desires, aspirations and my being is honoured.
“It means I am recognised in my own relationships and I get as much as I give.
“It means I honour and support my partner and we have mutual understanding and respect for one another.”
Language of Love is available on all major digital music outlets.
