"Sounds like a house song not amapiano but it's beautiful... Just because one has added Log Drum it doesnt mean the track is amapiano."

"Lol, This was definitely produced by a Nigerian, the LogDrum gave it away."

@kinglutendo commented:

"This is what desperation and mid life crisis look like but it’s good marketing for amapiano in US."
