Rising artist Lex Hoza taps into the soft nostalgia of young love on his latest single, “Summer Ties” — a laid-back, feel-good record that lives somewhere between memory and mood. Built for warm nights, long drives and moments you don’t want to rush past, the track captures the magic of connections formed under open skies, when everything still feels possible.

“Summer Ties” rewinds the clock to first feelings: the butterflies, the first date, the first kiss — those fleeting moments that somehow stick with you long after the season changes. Lex Hoza leans into emotional storytelling without overcomplicating things, striking a balance between vulnerability and easy listening that makes the song instantly relatable.

Joined by Kid X and Hope Phenye, the record explores relationships shaped by timing, desire and memory. Kid X reflects on love that arrives exactly when it’s meant to, while Hope Phenye’s smooth vocal delivery urges listeners to hold onto the good times, even when the moment has passed. Together, they paint a picture of love that lingers — soft, sincere and unforgettable.

With “Summer Ties,” Lex Hoza continues to carve out his space in the Mzansi music landscape, proving he’s not afraid to be honest while staying true to his sound. It’s a confident step forward in his journey — and a clear sign that there’s more on the way.
