With Honey & Grace, Busiswa has carved out a space that embraces complexity, emotional clarity, and artistic daring. Now, the acclaimed South African vocalist draws the curtain on the project with a final offering, “man2man” a textured, heartfelt meditation wrapped in hypnotic rhythm and soul-stirring charged artistry.
Released on May 9th, “man2man” is less of a track and more of a confessional in motion. The single explores how honesty echoes louder than noise, how silence can sting. At the heart of it lies a collective of visionaries, each contributing depth and dimension to the experience.
BERNT lends a velvet touch to the instrumental canvas, while Let Me You weaves an ambient landscape that cradles every lyric in atmospheric warmth. Two distinct voices, Monique Bingham and Charisse C, ignite the track with lived wisdom and future-facing energy.
Monique Bingham, long regarded as a beacon in house music, brings not only her unmistakable tone but decades of artistic legacy. From fronting Abstract Truth to crafting timeless dancefloor staples alongside icons like Louie Vega, Black Coffee, and Hugh Masekela, her contribution is both grounding and transcendent. In South Africa, her impact has reached near-mythical status, her voice a fixture in the cultural soundscape.
While Charisse C represents the present reshaping the future. A multidisciplinary force based in London, she is the founder of Abantu, a platform that champions African sonic identities with pride and innovation. Her work, rooted in Southern African heritage and global club culture, pushes boundaries and tells stories often left unheard. Her voice on “man2man” is resolute, spiritual, and intensely personal.
Already making waves, “man2man” has landed on curated playlists with a reach of over 185,000 listeners, a clear sign that its message is not only heard, but felt.
Behind the scenes, Sarah Jane Nicholson, the force steering Paradise Africa Distribution, has shaped the vision with precision and a global lens. Her role as executive producer underscores a continued mission: to push African music into new realms, while honoring its depth and diversity.
As the final chapter of Honey & Grace, “man2man” closes the door gently but leaves the echo of its message lingering long after. It’s a testament to the power of raw storytelling, of collective expression, and the beauty of saying what often goes unsaid.
