Charles Webster and Atmos Blaq unite for Free—an evolution in sonic freedom.
Following his lead single, Bakulindele featuring Muzi, Charles Webster returns with the next instalment of his collaborative project on Stay True Sounds. This entire album is crafted beats sent by some of the finest talents in South Africa's underground music scene and refined at Flame Studios in Johannesburg.
The second single, titled Free, is a deep, immersive journey into the expansive electronic textures that Webster’s best known for. This time, the legendary producer joins forces with Atmos Blaq, one of the most exciting names in South Africa’s 3-step music movement. Hailing from Dobsonville, Soweto, Atmos Blaq is a future-facing producer redefining the landscape of South African electronic music.
A unique collaboration, Free is a track rich in texture that floats freely through ambient tones and spacious sounds while highlighting the driving three-kick drum rhythm that defines 3-step. This partnership merges Webster's seasoned creations as an OG producer with Atmos Blaq's raw creativity. "It's not about making a hit," Webster reflects in the pair's studio chats. "When music comes from the heart, people connect with it." Atmos Blaq adds, "I got to be free... we created magic."
The magic is unmistakable in Free, a tune that captures the essence of both artists by bridging generations, cultures, and creative minds to create one incredible soundscape.
