Today on the Kfm Top 40 with Carl Wastie, we welcomed two incredibly talented South African artists into studio - Amy Tjasink and Keely Crocker - and what an amazing time it was! 

Amy joined us fresh off the release of her powerful new single Shadows of the Sun - an emotional and uplifting track inspired by her father’s life-changing stroke and the unbreakable bond they share. Amy continues to shine as one of SA’s most exciting voices ahead of her upcoming album Valley Girl.

We also caught up with Keely Crocker, who opened up about her deeply personal new single Things could be different - a beautiful pop ballad about heartbreak, healing and letting go.

Huge thanks to both artists for bringing the music, the stories and the good vibes to the Kfm Top 40 with Carl Wastie today!
