Kiernan Forbes, better known as AKA, has just released a surprise love song online titled Caiphus Song.
The song debuted on Metro FM this afternoon and has already began causing a social media storm.
"This is a song very close to my heart. It's about fighting for a future with the one you love. I decided to call it 'Caiphus Song' to honour him and the song "Matswale" which inspired me to write this at this particular point in my life and relationship," said AKA.
The unique cover art to the song was designed by Okmalumkoolkat, real name Simiso Zwane.
“When AKA sent me the track, I instantly got ideas around 'real love' and wedding vibes so I called him and we had a chat about which direction I could take it to. I am currently really interested in Vaporwave design. This is also part of this whole Afro-futurism wave that I believe me and Supa Mega are part of, consciously or unconsciously, it's all there in our music,” said Okmalumkoolkat.
AKA’s surprise release of the Caiphus Song now dovetails his hit single The World Is Yours.
The music video for The World Is Yours was shot during AKA and Bonang Matheba’s vacation in Thailand.
Caiphus Song can be streamed exclusively on Deezer until Monday, 27 February 2017.
