During these strange times we find ourselves in, experiencing a loss of connection, freedom and normalcy, it’s now time for us to be back on, celebrating life and spontaneous moments of authentic behaviour, where we can all be our truest selves and say to life: YOU’RE ON!

That’s why at Texx Talks, we couldn’t be happier or prouder to be joining forces with Ray-Ban this Summer. Hit up Ray-Ban’s Instagram page at @rayban

We are still on break and quietly pottering around in the background, polishing up a shiny new season for you! In the interim, here is one of our favourites and a true South African siren, Msaki!

Msaki is a singer and songwriter whose deeply soulful vocals and lyrics carry profound messages that resonate with everyone who’s had the pleasure of hearing her sing and seeing her perform.

This Eastern Cape-born musician has created songs that combine soulful folk with symphonic movements, Xhosa lyrics with African poly-rhythms and her raw delivery disrupts your senses as she sings of love and loss, and home and hope.

From speaking about being an advocate for change, to her collaboration on some of SA’s most beloved house tracks, Msaki is undeniably one of the most important modern voices to put thought to bars.

We are taking a little break over at Texx Talks and prepping for our next season, in the interim, we have our Passenger episode “from the vault” in celebration of his brand spanking new album Songs for the Drunk and Lonely Hearted

Setting Suns 

Michael David Rosenberg – better known to all of us as Passenger – is an award-winning, chart topping singer-songwriter who commands the stage and your attention, like few solo acts can and do.

This Brighton-born musician is a master storyteller, seeking out the charming in the seemingly mundane, and spinning songs that remind us of the importance of human interaction in an all too out-of-touch technological world.

With his intimate, folk-inflected sound, this one-man band has built a loyal following, and he chats to us about a recent foul purchase, chasing an endless summer and how commanding a street corner ultimately prepares you to face 65 000 fans.

Outro Song: “Sword From the Stone”  off the new album “Patchwork”
