I included this track for New Music Friday at the end of February and I just love it! It's funky, catchy, and a feel-good vibe. I would compare the organic vibe to Arrested Development. Let's take a closer look!
Thandi Phoenix, the Australian-South African singer-songwriter, has recently released her latest single, "Hot Sauce," produced by Arona Mane. The song is a confident, club-ready pop bop that showcases Phoenix's vocal range and Mane's production skills. In a press release, Phoenix revealed that the song was a freestyle that stuck, and it was written and produced on a hot day in the studio. "Hot Sauce" is the first preview of Phoenix's upcoming second EP, "Rebirth," which she will release independently in June. The EP is said to be driven by themes of empowerment and will cover the artist's experiences with personal and professional challenges, including the loss of loved ones.
Arona Mane, who produced "Hot Sauce," has also shared his insights into the making of the song. In an interview with Happy Mag, Mane revealed that he wanted to create a beat that was "fun and energetic" and that would complement Phoenix's vocals. He also shared that he used a lot of live instrumentation in the production, including bass, guitar, and drums, to give the song a more organic feel.
"Hot Sauce" has already gained popularity, with its video on YouTube receiving praise. Phoenix launched "Hot Sauce" with a release show at Sydney's TIVA venue on March 11, following her performance at the Pride Villages festival on March 5.
Overall, "Hot Sauce" is a testament to Phoenix's and Mane's talents and their ability to create a catchy and empowering song. I am looking forward to hearing more from this talented artist. With "Rebirth" set to release in June, fans can expect more great music from Phoenix in the near future.
Check out the brilliant video below.
