The entertainment and music industry is a world filled with established and “promising talents” with remarkable talents and gifts. However, in this sea of talents and accomplishment, not every one of those aspiring artists can retain their spark as time passes, find their unique voice, and stand out among many. Denel is one fast-rising songwriter and artist with a distinctive fuel that has managed to keep his fire burning and make a wave as the hottest new act, bringing his creative twists and vigor to the music industry.
Denel is South African-born and New Zealand-raised singer, songwriter, and producer determined to leave a mark in the music industry and change the R&B music scene with his wide creative range. His debut single, “Let It Happen,” catapulted him into the spotlight as he merged metaphors and powerful punchlines to deliver them in captivating rhythms to listeners across the globe and landed number 13 on New Zealand’s Hot 20 chart.
Since his first hit, the exceptionally talented lyricist has surged in recognition for his incredible talent. Not to be mistaken for a one-hit wonder, he once again thrilled his audience this 2022 with his latest masterpiece, “Make It Right,” released June 3rd. The new track slightly departs from his familiar joyful, upbeat tunes. Instead, it features darker R&B and urban undertones thanks to production from EDY, who is no stranger to the contemporary approach to the R&B genre in the NZ and AUS music game. The song takes listeners on a journey and showcases the new direction the artist hopes to explore.
In addition to setting the tone for future releases, “Make It Right” is the first single to debut off of his new EP, Crossroads, which will soon hit the public. In an interview, the artist explained his musical transition. He said, “I want to showcase a more mature side of my music and get a bit deeper content-wise. Most of us are at a ‘crossroad,’ so to speak, with all we’ve been through the last couple of years. So it would be great to use music positively to inspire people to think deeper and make music that resonates and connects with certain emotions.” He added, “I’m also really excited about dropping some self-produced tracks and showcasing that side of me a little bit more.”
Officially released June 3rd, “Make It Right” was followed by an eclectic music video directed by Alex Hargreaves and the video team ‘Video Buzz” three days later. With an audience of music lovers worldwide, Denel is motivated to work and bring new sounds to life for the entertainment of his listeners. His attentive audience inspires him to work at his craft and record huge success. Denel is determined to revolutionize the music scene in the coming years through his well-crafted lyrics and excellent delivery. He wants to take his craft to the mainstream, attracting a global audience, interact with his fans and gain accolades for his music.
