Johannesburg-based producer-artist TAYKATRIP returns with “Sweet Nothing,” a soulful new collaboration featuring the unmistakable voice and presence of Namakau Star, out this Thursday, April 10 on all platforms.

Known for his alternative Hip-hop and R&B sound, TAYKATRIP takes a slight detour from his previous release, Far From Here — an EP with standout features from Phiwo and Monelle that showcased the possibilities of his sound. With Sweet Nothing, he leans further into his R&B sensibilities, using the track to explore love, connection, and emotional vulnerability.

Namakau Star, one of the leading voices in South Africa’s alternative R&B scene, brings a sharp, emotional depth to the track. Her lyricism and creative energy match the tone of the song perfectly—effortless, honest, and full of feeling. Her performance gives Sweet Nothing an extra pulse, pushing it beyond just a duet into a true collaboration.

The two artists float over a classic trap-soul beat—nostalgic but fresh—blending smooth R&B with the tension and drama of hip-hop. The result is a love song that feels intimate and cinematic. One for the true R&B heads.
