Shekhinah released her debut EP, Love On Repeat Vol. 1, on June 5, 2026. The South African singer-songwriter, known for her distinctive vocal timbre and a catalogue of chart-topping pop singles, uses the four-track project to step confidently into house, weaving in the intricate rhythmic patterns of South African three-step. This evolution preserves her core strength: songwriting that is direct and emotionally resonant. Producers Fatso 98, Master A Flat, 2KayMusiq and MotiveSoul shape the EP’s sound, keeping the grooves taut and the production contemporary, always allowing Shekhinah’s delivery to remain front and centre.
Each track makes Shekhinah’s stylistic transition unmistakable. The lead single, ‘Say You Love Me‘, featuring Brandon Dhludhlu, channels a dancefloor momentum that underscores the EP’s genre-blurring intent. On ‘My Baby‘, Dhludhlu returns with Fatso 98, intensifying the low-end while letting the melody unfold with clarity. Shekhinah also collaborates with Simmy, uniting two of South Africa’s most distinctive voices on songs where love and rhythm become inseparable.
What anchors the EP is its unmistakable Shekhinah signature: intimate, soulful, and deeply expressive, even as house and three-step textures frame her vocals. She approaches the project as both a creative exploration and a celebration of the sounds currently shaping her artistry. Love On Repeat Vol. 1 is out now on all major streaming platforms, arriving as a reminder of Shekhinah’s ability to reinvent her sound while keeping listeners coming back.
