Simmy’s debut album Tugela Fairy, released in 2018, marked a luminous arrival on South Africa’s music scene. Blending Afro-pop, soul, and electronic textures, the project introduced a voice that’s as hauntingly beautiful as it is culturally grounded.
From the hypnotic pulse of “Vele Kungcono” to the heartfelt vulnerability in “Ubala” and the introspective tones of “Ngiyesaba,” Simmy crafts a soundscape that bridges ancestral rhythms with contemporary flair. Her ethereal vocals glide over poetic lyrics, telling stories of love, identity, and transformation.
Critics and fans alike praised the album for its originality and emotional resonance. It’s not just music—it’s a mood, a memory, a movement. Tugela Fairy doesn’t just play; it enchants, inviting listeners into a dreamlike realm where tradition meets innovation.
With this debut, Simmy didn’t just make an impression—she carved out a space all her own in the Afro-fusion genre, and it’s one that continues to echo.
