Soul music legend Anthony Hamilton has landed in Johannesburg ahead of his highly anticipated Women’s Day concert.
Sharing the stage with South African music royalty, soul music legend Anthony Hamilton says this performance is all about love, connection, and giving his fans exactly what they want.
‘I did my research, I know what Mzansi wants’
Speaking at a press conference alongside local favourites Zonke, Vusi Nova, Sjava, and R&B star Joe Thomas, Hamilton expressed his excitement. He is thrilled to be performing for a South African audience once again.
“I did my research. I know what Mzansi wants to hear,” the American crooner said with a smile. He hinted at a carefully curated setlist designed with his largely female fanbase in mind.
“This show is about love. It’s about understanding what women want to hear,” Hamilton added. “And trust me, they’re in my inbox! They tell me exactly what songs to sing, and I listen.”
A star-studded line-up for Women’s Day
The concert, set to take place in celebration of Women’s Day, promises an unforgettable experience. Sharing the stage with Hamilton are powerhouse local talents including Zonke, Nova, and Sjava. These artists are known for their emotive performances and deep connection with their audiences.
Nova teased a blend of nostalgic and fresh sounds, saying, “We’ll be doing some old classics and new music for the audience. There’s something for everyone.”
Hamilton: “I’m gonna show up, show out, and tear my shoes up.”
Known for his gritty, heartfelt voice and unforgettable stage presence, Hamilton made it clear he’s not holding back.
“I’m gonna show up, show out, and tear my shoes up,” he said, drawing laughter and applause from the room.
But behind the humour is a deeper message. Hamilton wants his performance to leave an emotional imprint.
“I care about the people,” he shared. “I want people to feel connected to who I am, not just as an artist, but also as a father and a man. I don’t want to be that guy who comes to Mzansi just to perform and leave. I want to connect”.
