Lollise - I hit the water (deluxe) (2024) [Hi-Res]

Lollise's debut album, I Hit the Water, is a deeply personal and spiritual journey, reconnecting her with the Botswana of her childhood. It blends childhood play-songs with themes of reclaiming identity, stolen land, and cultural truths. Sung in English, Setswana, and Kalanga, the album spans diverse styles, from Setswana and Kalanga folk to South African bubblegum, kwaito, and pan-African influences like highlife and soukous. It also features innovative genre fusion, including Afro-futurist punk-jazz, drum 'n bass, and spiritual trance. With tracks like “Iron Woman,” “iKalanga,” and “Paradise,” Lollise creates a singular soundscape, preserving her culture and heritage in a way that is entirely her own.
