"Lala Ngoxolo" sweetly <a href="https://hypemagazine.co.za/2021/01/22/ami-faku-emtee-offer-consolation-healing-with-new-lalangoxolo-song-listen/" target="_blank">calls listeners to remembrance</a> of all those who have passed and fills the void. Emtee balances the track out with his upbeat encouraging rap lyrics carried on the strumming of acoustic guitar strings. This collaboration is somewhat unusual but provides a much needed musical antidote to the many wounds that fans are undoubtedly tending to. </p><p><div class="preroll-video"></div><ora-player></ora-player></p><p>Ami Faku ended the year on a high note with her single "Uwrongo" making Time Magazine's "10 BestSongs of 2020" and the single simultaneously featured on Barak Obama's favourite music list.
