SA: Apple Music features Lordkez in June

The development coincides with Lordkez’s May-released EP entitled Revenge Season. The six-track EP is available for streaming on Apple Music and features such songs as ‘Dead on Arrival’, ‘WAE (When All Ends)’, ‘Disgusting’ and ‘No Pulse’.

“With soulful rap-infused instrumentals and a display of strong vocal versatility, [Revenge Season] promises to be a work of art,” Apple Music said. “With fluid instrumental backing of guitar, piano and a dark, deep bass, she adds plenty of soul to every track.

“Her music reflects her childhood in South Africa and many years spent in Abu Dhabi. This multicultural upbringing exposed her to a mix of musical influences which can be felt in her music.”

Born, Keziah Zoë Meyers in Kimberley, Lordkez has sculpted a unique style of music with gentle beats. The 20-year-old singer’s mellow and entrancing vocals speak about love, pain, passion, regret and ambition.

Lordkez’s previous releases include her Mentality EP, which features such songs as ‘Faded’, ‘Mentality’ and ‘Peace of Mind’. On her ‘Flex’ single, the singer shows her versatility with a smooth hip hop vocal tone.
