KZN-born singer-songwriter Jemapelle James, has unveiled his brand-new single “For Real” which is his first release through ONErpm.

Written like a journal entry, “For Real” unfolds line by line, capturing the tug-of-war between moving on and the undeniable pull of being drawn back to the one person you truly want to spend your days with — the one you “wanna get lost with”. With raw honesty and vulnerability, James delivers a deeply intimate reflection on love’s dangerous yet irresistible grip.

“This is the type of song that gets better with every listen,” shares Jemapelle James. “It’s my favourite song right now, only because it feels so mature compared to the rest of my catalogue.”

Blending rich melodies with heartfelt storytelling, Jemapelle James continues to carve his own lane in South Africa’s music landscape, inviting listeners into moments that feel both personal and universal. “For Real” is a testament to his growth as an artist — a soul-stirring track that resonates long after the last note fades.
