Johannesburg, Friday, 15 November 2024 – Today marks the highly anticipated release of Zichy’s debut EP, Deep Hearted Sound, a profound fusion of Afrobeat and Afro-fusion that promises to captivate audiences across the globe. With the spotlight on the focus track Jerusalem, the EP sets a new standard for intentional, soothing music that resonates deeply with listeners, blending rhythm, heart, and soul into an unforgettable listening experience.
At the core of Deep Hearted Sound lies a distinctively “deep-hearted” sound, as Zichy describes it. Each track weaves together his personal experiences, exploring both love and life’s challenges in ways that feel authentic and immersive. “I wanted to make good music that had intentional value and a soothing feeling,” says Zichy. “This EP introduces not just my sound, but my story.”
Zichy’s journey as an artist has been a two-year evolution, refining his voice and perfecting a sound that blends the raw energy of Afrobeat with the smooth, melodic elements of R&B and hip-hop. Recorded in Lagos, with contributions from top producers like SNE from South Africa, Hitsound, Uzoma, and Krox, Deep Hearted Sound is a sonic journey that encapsulates a wide range of emotions and experiences, told through captivating rhythms and lyrical sincerity.
The EP’s standout track, Jerusalem, exemplifies Zichy’s mastery of Afrobeat’s infectious energy, inviting listeners to dance, love, and celebrate life. But beyond its pulsating beats and joyful melodies, Zichy’s music also delves into deeper themes, offering a reflective take on the human experience. The EP is a balanced exploration of ambition, romance, joy, and struggle, as seen in tracks like Life Style, an anthem of success, and Cheddar, which speaks to the sacrifices and triumphs of chasing one’s dreams.
Zichy is not just an artist but a storyteller, whose music carries a distinct message of perseverance, passion, and authenticity. Deep Hearted Sound represents a turning point in Zichy’s career—a moment where he sets the pace for his future sound while embracing his roots in Afrobeat. “This project is about introducing myself and my sound to the world,” he says. “It’s about setting a foundation that I can build on for years to come.”
The six-track EP is rich with variety and depth, offering something for every listener. Whether it’s the sensual rhythms of Panty Drop, the celebratory joy in Confam, or the motivational pulse of Cheddar, Zichy’s ability to blend genres and moods stands out as his defining feature.
Each track offers a window into Zichy’s world, where every note, every beat, and every word is crafted with intention. He hopes to connect with listeners on a profound level, offering music that not only entertains but heals and inspires. As he reflects, “This EP is good music till the end, and I can’t wait for people to hear what I’ve been working on.”
With Deep Hearted Sound, Zichy has crafted an EP that’s ready to take the world by storm. As the first chapter in what promises to be a long and illustrious career, Zichy is already drawing attention from major music platforms and industry heavyweights. Fans can look forward to an EP that offers not just good music, but a heartfelt, soul-soothing experience.
