Southern African producer and artist Kooldrink has officially stepped onto the global stage with the release of his highly anticipated single, “Show Me,” featuring the soulful vocals of Nina Nevra.
Now available on all digital platforms, the track marks a bold return of Pop Piano, a genre Kooldrink himself pioneered by fusing the rhythmic pulse of amapiano with the melodic appeal of pop music.
With its infectious beats, heartfelt lyrics, and genre-defying sound, “Show Me” isn’t just a song—it’s a statement. Kooldrink, known for his innovative production, aims to redefine global music by bridging African roots with universal appeal.
“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,”
Kooldrink shared.
A Rising Star with Global Influence
At just 25, Kooldrink is no stranger to success. He first gained international recognition as the producer behind Tyla’s breakout hit “Getting Late,” a track that catapulted both artists into the spotlight. His production portfolio includes collaborations with global icons like Ed Sheeran, for whom he crafted the official amapiano remix of “Bad Habits” under Asylum/Warner.
With over a decade of experience producing for industry heavyweights like Universal, Mad Decent, and Parlophone, Kooldrink’s artistry has made him a leading figure in African electronic music. Now signed to EMPIRE, his vision and talent are expanding to new global heights.
The Future of Pop Piano
Kooldrink’s mission is clear: to elevate Pop Piano as a genre and cement its place on the world stage. By blending amapiano’s raw, street-born rhythms with the universality of pop melodies, Kooldrink is introducing a sound that is both deeply African and undeniably global.
As “Show Me” ushers in this new musical era, Kooldrink’s passion and creativity promise to resonate with listeners worldwide. His journey is not just about making music but about transforming it, ensuring that the sounds of Africa continue to shape the future of global music.
Fans can stream “Show Me” now and experience the start of what Kooldrink calls a new chapter in music history.
