SA: Da Capo back with new single Better

The record, released under Platoon, is available for streaming and download on major digital platforms.

After a long hiatus touring the world, ‘Better’ is a reintroduction of sorts to Da Capo’s splendid music-making abilities. The chilled tune is destined to be a summer staple on most fans’ playlist, with a sound and vocals that take listeners back in time.

“‘Better’ is a feel-good, motivational song,” Da Capo said. “It’s not a love song but a message to anyone who has actually had an impact on someone’s life. Just like them, I believe I make people feel better through my music.”

Jethro Tait said: “We never know the struggles the person next to us is going through. Sometimes we might try to open up to the people in our lives but they don’t always understand or properly listen to what we’re going through. The lyrics of the song speak about finding that one person who makes the tough times more bearable, someone who makes everything feel better.”

He added: “Da Capo and I connected over WhatsApp in the beginning of lockdown and ended up writing this song. It’s been over two years in the making and I’m so happy it’s finally out. I’ve been a fan of Da Capo for years now and I feel super privileged to have had the opportunity to work with him on this song.”

Da Capo, who has been touring extensively abroad, is fresh off of a South African Music Awards win for Remix of the Year for ‘Uhuru’, in collaboration with Sun-EL Musician and Azana.
