Singer/songwriter ZimkithA recently dropped off her new single called ‘By the Door’ that is said to aim at drawing our attention back to “failed relationships, the difficulties of leaving, and the consideration of the process it takes to conclude that something once so beautiful is so over” which is, of course, a narrative many of us can relate to because that’s an experience that life tends to give… Sonically, ‘By the Door’ is a sultry song that blends of isiXhosa and English lyrics to offer “a slow seduction of pain” as ZimkithA goes back and forth between wondering about what led to the need to break up and the difficulty of actually packing up and going for good. Produced by Masta BC, this single marks ZimkithA’s journey towards the release of her debut EP said to be coming in early 2022.
