TXC Flag Possible Wizkid and Jorja Smith Features on New Amapiano Project

South African amapiano duo TXC, composed of lifelong friends Tarryn Reid and Clairise Hefke, have announced plans for a major project set for release this year, following the international success of their single ‘Nakupenda’. Renowned for their dynamic DJ sets and growing influence within the global amapiano scene, the pair confirmed the forthcoming release during an appearance on Apple Music’s The Dotty Show. Reid affirmed that new music would arrive within the year, with Hefke suggesting a South African summer timeframe. ‘Nakupenda’, featuring Davido, Zlatan, Scotts Maphuma and Al Xapo, has surpassed 37 million Spotify streams and 20 million YouTube views, underscoring TXC’s rising momentum.

Details surrounding the upcoming project remain limited, though Hefke hinted at possible collaborations with Nigerian icon Wizkid and British singer-songwriter Jorja Smith. During the interview, she spoke broadly about the recording sessions, leaving open the possibility of joint or separate appearances from the featured artists. TXC aim to replicate the impact of ‘Nakupenda’, a track born from a spontaneous collaboration with Davido and completed in a swift session at Zlatan’s Lagos studio.

Clairise Hefke revealed: “There’s definitely a big project coming. I don’t know if I can mention this. But yeah, we got a little bit of Wizkid, a little bit of Jorja, a little bit of… You know, we got some things coming up.” Asked about structure she added: “It could be one song, it could be separate songs. Let’s see, let’s see. But yeah, we’re hoping that’s the next ‘Nakupenda’.” Further details on the exact features and tracklist are expected closer to the South African summer drop.
