The Artist by Charles Webster & Bokani Dyer
The final single before From The Hill lands. With this next movement, Charles Webster connects with South African architect of new jazz, Bokani Dyer, for a moment of calm clarity that sits comfortably between house and jazz, titled ‘The Artist’.
Marking his return since his award-winning Radio Sechaba album release (2023) and performing festival stages across the globe, Dyer unveils his distinct voice, both as a pianist and storyteller, within Charles’ world of refined, leftfield house as a framework. What follows is a musical conversation between two artists at ease with detail, purpose, and feeling.
The Artist rounds off a thoughtful run of singles with an array of SA’s top artists collaborating with Charles Webster — Bakulindele (Muzi), Free (Atmos Blaq), Many Blessings (China Charmeleon & Girly Mbambani), and Rain (EMAMKAY & Bokang Ramatlapeng) each one carving its own space to breathe and shine.
This track sets the final tone for what’s to come, the final note before the album lands.
