You won't want Tayla Hunter's new single out of your mind!

Carl Wastie caught up with Ben Rodrigues on the Kfm Top 40, where the South African hitmaker peeled back the layers on his most vulnerable release yet - Hazel Eyes.

Fresh off viral successes like Was It Real, Tell Me How and Homesick, Ben is stepping into deeply personal territory with this emotionally raw ballad. Hazel Eyes offers a glimpse into a softer, more reflective side of the singer-songwriter, marking a clear evolution in both sound and storytelling.

Written while touring the UK for the first time in April last year, the song was born during a quiet moment of vulnerability. While performing internationally was a major career milestone, it also came with the emotional weight of being far from home - and far from the person who means the most to him. That push and pull between success and solitude is at the heart of Hazel Eyes, making it one of Ben’s most honest releases to date.

he idea for Golden Crown struck Shaza during a live performance at the Get Lucky Summer Concert in Plettenberg Bay, where she opened for Will Linley. “I noticed this girl trying to get a boy’s attention,” Shaza recalls. “But her more confident friend stole the spotlight. It reminded me how invisible we can feel sometimes, especially when we’re younger. Instead of a heartbreak song, I wanted to flip that moment into something empowering.” 

Lyrically cheeky with lines like “Just because I don’t look like her doesn’t really mean that I can’t be me,” lands with refreshing honesty. “All I really hear is Will Linley’s song, All The Girls,” Shaza tips her hat at one of South Africa’s brightest pop inspirations. “Will is such an inspiration to upcoming artists, and I’m a big fan of his music.”

Shaza teamed up with award-winning producer Daniel Baron again, and their working relationship continues to grow with each new single. “Every song is a snapshot of where I am creatively,” Shaza shares. “Golden Crown feels like stepping into a new chapter - fun, fearless, and self-assured. It’s about energy, connection, and reminding people that being yourself is magic.”
