Thato Jessica drops ‘Count on Me’ with Open Mic Productions
These are exciting times for the Botswana music scene, the quality is not even a matter of debate anymore. It’s about the moves being made, business transacted, collaborations that grow music culture, and deals being put on the table, and one that we can speak of is Thato Jessica’s announcement that she’s signed to South Africa’s Open Mic Productions – one of Mzansi’s big label with a roster that other’s envy.
Open Mic bringing her on heralds a journey of growth continued, and her single ‘Count on Me’ definitely signals work at a higher level with the single already featuring on last week’s ‘Track of the Week’. If the names housed under the label are anything to go by, then we can assume that she’ll get the same level of support that her label mates such as Mapara A Jazz, Master KG, Prince Benza, Makhadzi and many more enjoy – meaning bigger things for her.

WNDRSZN’s Garri: A Soulful Ode to Everyday Survival
With his new single “Garri,” Botswana’s own WNDRSZN delivers a moving blend of nostalgia, rhythm, and reflection. The track feels like a time capsule — echoing the golden sounds of Africa’s past while remaining grounded in the grit of modern life.
Garri paints the picture of long days, crowded taxi rides, and quiet moments of exhaustion — when silence speaks louder than words. WNDRSZN captures the ache and beauty of that struggle with haunting tenderness, reminding us of the resilience that lives in ordinary people.
Inspired by African classics like Ismaël Lô’s Tajabone and Oliver Mtukudzi’s Neria, Garri draws from deep emotional wells of hope and survival. It’s not just a song; it’s a feeling — a lament, a memory, and a prayer for better days.
With his signature fusion of AfroSoul and Kalahari Pop, WNDRSZN once again reimagines what African music can sound like — rooted in heritage but speaking to now.
Garri is more than music. It’s a mirror to our everyday hustle — and a gentle call to keep going.

Priscilla K Finds Strength in Vulnerability on Show Me
Priscilla K returns with a soulful new single titled “Show Me”, a heartfelt Afrobeat-meets-Afrotech track that blends rhythm and emotion effortlessly. In this song, she opens up about the need to be seen, to be affirmed, and to be reminded of her worth — especially in moments of doubt.
With lyrics like “Show me a sign I’m wanted, I’m worthy,” Priscilla delivers a message that’s both intimate and universal. It’s a plea for reassurance, but also an anthem of resilience — a reminder that even when we fall, we can rise again and fight.
Sonically, Show Me shimmers with layered percussion and subtle electronic textures, carried by her powerful, emotive vocals. It’s a record that feels alive — grounded in vulnerability, but glowing with hope.
Show Me isn’t just a song — it’s a moment of honesty from an artist unafraid to feel, fall, and rise again.
