Lordkez teams up with Cassper Nyovest for highly anticipated 'Aweh' remix

Singer and songwriter Lordkez has announced a remix version of her hit song “Aweh”, this time with rapper Cassper Nyovest.

The 21-year-old Kimberley-born artist took to social media to announce the release date of the highly anticipated song with a caption that reads:

“Aweh [Remix] (feat. Cassper Nyovest) is yours on the 29th August. Thank you so much, big dawg @casspernyovest 🙏🏽❤️. We got one for the summer! ☀️, and thank you for all the love always. I’m ever grateful.”

The original track came out in March as the lead single from her 90s-inspired EP “You, Me, and the 90s”, which truly takes the listeners on a nostalgic trip. 

In an interview with "IOL", Lordkez said the song was meant to give the feeling of a first date. She explained that “Aweh” means “hello” or “what’s up” and that the sound was made to instantly take listeners back in time.

“Aweh is like the first date. The sounds and basslines within the first 30 seconds take you back. ‘Aweh’ also means ‘hello’ or ‘what’s up’.

“I wanted to capture that exciting moment when two people meet for the first time, especially in that '90s setting, being picked up from your mum’s house, dressed up cutely, with Michael Jackson playing in the background,” she said.

In June, Cassper Nyovest heard the infectious song while on his Twitch livestream and told fans how much he liked it, giving props to Lordkez. He has since recorded his verse for the remix and did it live on the stream.

The new version mixes Lordkez’s smooth and soulful sound with Nyovest’s flair, giving the song a fresh energy while keeping its warm, nostalgic feel.

Lordkez has been busy this year. Along with dropping her EP, she was recently featured on Shekhinah’s latest album “Less Trouble” on a song called “Bare Minimum”.
