Seba Kaapstad - I'm Scared (feat. Oddisee)

Today, the multi-national quartet Seba Kaapstad debuted their new song I'm Scared with Sudanese/American rapper Oddisee with The Quietus. Singer Zoe Modiga says the new single is “a record that looks into the vulnerability of sharing the things we most fear. It is a song that humanizes us and though fear is a low frequency emotion, it can be acknowledged for one to work towards a better emotion.” Rapper Oddisee joins the jazz ensemble for a piece that reaches towards something essential and human- a way for us to examine ourselves & become better. 

The group Seba Kaapstad is made up of singers Zoe Modiga & Ndumiso Manana with production from Philip Scheibel & Sebastian Schuster. The crossing of musical influences from jazz to soul to hip-hop are as diverse and beautiful as the members themselves. Hailing from South Africa, Eswatini, Germany & the US, the sound is distinct, creating what is specifically Seba Kaapstad.

The newest album from the neo-soul/jazz group is called Konke, translating to “Everything” from Zulu. The album picks up where they left off from 2019’s MMG debut album Thina. Ever evolving, the group has focused in on their sound, making Konke a smooth, cerebral & uplifting album. Featuring artists Quelle Chris, Georgia Anne Muldrow and Oddisee, Konke is what imagination sounds like.

The new Seba Kaapstad album Konke will be out on Mello Music Group November 13th.
