Akekho

Independent R&B/neo-soul artist Nonto has officially released the highly anticipated music video for her emotive single Akekho, a minimalist yet powerfully visual ode that explores the polar worlds of love and vulnerability. The video marks a bold visual step in the artist’s rising career as a singer and songwriter, further establishing her as a distinct voice in South Africa’s soul and alternative music scene. Rooted in raw vulnerability and poetic honesty, Akekho (which translates to “there’s no one” in isiZulu) is more than just a love song, it’s a moody meditation on emotional availability and desire. The track is produced by Ootz Tha Afronaut and merges haunting vocal layers, restrained production, and lyricism that resonates deeply with listeners navigating the spaces between connection and solitude. With her previous releases like Issues, Find Me Love and the debut album Colourful, Nonto has steadily carved out a sonic lane that blends the warmth of neo-soul with the frank honesty of alternative R&B. “I’ve always been interested in the stories we don’t say out loud, the questions we ask when no one is watching,” says Nonto. “With Akekho, I wanted to capture the polar worlds of love and vulnerability.” With Akekho, she offers not only a beautifully produced video and track, but an invitation to feel more, to pause, and to remember the invisible spaces that shape us.
