Nosi and Buzzi Lee Release Enigmatic New Single ‘Be My Lover’

‘Be My Lover’, the new single from Nosi and Buzzi Lee, arrived on 4 September 2026 across all major platforms including Spotify, Apple Music and YouTube Music. Johannesburg-based R&B singer and songwriter Nosi has steadily built her catalogue with a series of singles and the 2025 EP Oh? Damn, featuring tracks like ‘Comprehend’, ‘Temperature’ and ‘Fever’.

Pretoria’s Buzzi Lee (Bontle Makhwelo) is recognised for her SePitori rap style layered over dynamic, evolving production. Prior singles like ‘Superstar’ and ‘Pheli Via Church’ established her presence, followed by standout features on ‘Sho Boy’, the ‘Zonke’ remix and ‘Mugwanti’. In 2022, she earned Best Remix at the South African Hip Hop Awards for ‘Never Ride (Remix)’ alongside MashBeatz and other collaborators. This collaboration with Nosi arrives after both artists have carved out distinct paths, drawing attention from listeners anticipating their intersection.

‘Be My Lover’ weaves R&B, pop, rap and dance into a single, magnetic mid-tempo groove. Nosi’s vocals glide in with an intimate, velvet smooth touch, while Buzzi Lee fires back with Spitori bars that snap perfectly into place, riding the beat effortlessly.

The lyrics capture the electric spark of new romance, pulsing with the energy of a night out. This track feels just as at home in a private listening session as it does on a crowded dance floor. The production lets the vocals and rap breathe, resisting the urge to overload the beat and instead creating space for every nuance. It’s the kind of sound you’d expect the next generation of South African stars to make as the culture shifts to more melodic driven tracks where aesthetics match the sound and sonic textures are rich.
