Kooldrink Unveils Groundbreaking Debut Single “Show Me,” Ushering in a New Era of Pop Piano
Southern African producer and artist Kooldrink is set to make his global debut with the release of his highly anticipated single, “Show Me,” featuring the soulful vocals of Nina Nevra.
Available now across all digital platforms, this track marks the return of Pop Piano, a genre Kooldrink pioneered by blending the pulsating rhythms of amapiano with the captivating melodies of pop.
With “Show Me, ” Kooldrink is not just releasing a song—he’s making a statement. The track’s infectious beats, compelling lyrics, and genre-defying sound signal the rise of a new era in global music. Kooldrink, who has already made waves with his production talents, aims to redefine the music industry by embracing his African roots while connecting with audiences worldwide.
“With ‘Show Me, ‘ I wanted to create something that reflects where I come from while also
speaking to the world. Pop Piano is about bridging those gaps and bringing the energy of
amapiano to a broader audience,” says Kooldrink.
Kooldrink is no stranger to the global stage. At only 25 years old, he has already made a
name for himself as the mastermind behind Tyla’s breakout hit “Getting Late”, a song that launched both of their careers. His extensive list of collaborations includes international superstars like Ed Sheeran, where he produced the official amapiano remix of Sheeran’s hit “Bad Habits” for Asylum/Warner.
With over a decade of production credits under his belt for major labels such as Universal,
Mad Decent, and Parlophone, Kooldrink is now signed to EMPIRE, expanding his influence
across the world. His unique sound, which combines the raw energy of street sonics with the
catchiness of pop melodies, has firmly placed him at the forefront of African electronic music.
As the pioneer of Pop Piano, Kooldrink is determined to elevate the genre by fusing
traditional amapiano beats with global pop sensibilities, ensuring that his sound resonates
worldwide. His goal is simple: to introduce Pop Piano to the world stage and transform global
music.
