Thabsie Marks Exciting Partnership With Emtee On New Track “Good Time.” South African R&B artist Thabsie is making her return with a dynamic new song that is both lively and deliberate. The single, “Good Time,” features prominent rapper Emtee and serves as the first track on her eagerly awaited EP While You Wait.
The track embodies a lighthearted, flirtatious spirit, supported by a smooth rhythm that invites movement. Thabsie describes the song as playful and that sentiment is strongly conveyed in its sound. It’s a fitting addition for summer days, road trips, and gatherings where the music gets louder.
Fans who recall her breakout hits like Ngiyaz’fela Ngawe and African Queen will find this new direction both familiar and refreshed. Her voice maintains its warm, soulful sound, now layered over production that feels more vibrant and rhythm-focused than before.
The collaboration with Emtee introduces a compelling contrast that energizes the track. Emtee, known for his impact on African trap music, delivers a grounded, engaging verse that complements Thabsie’s lighter melodies. Their combined styles create a dynamic exchange that keeps the song engaging.
Thabsie’s enthusiasm about this collaboration has been evident from the beginning. She has shared her surprise and delight at joining forces with Emtee, and that excitement is palpable in the music. There’s a sense that both artists collaborated in a space where enjoyment was as important as technicality.
The project showcases a strong creative team behind the scenes. Production comes from @iamlunatik, while the writing credits feature Emtee, Zingah, and Thabsie. The track was mastered by @melarbeats, with visuals created by @mikasworld_za and creative direction from @thecreativehandler. Each participant contributes to a release that feels both thoughtfully crafted and accessible.
This single also sets the stage for her EP While You Wait, which is her first project since her debut album, Songs About You. It carries an air of patience and intent, suggesting that each song was developed with care and not hurriedly released.
With this new single, Thabsie confidently reintroduces herself, blending emotional R&B with a more spirited sound. Emtee’s involvement adds another layer of energy and groove to the composition. The end result is a track that feels airy yet substantial, enjoyable while remaining rooted in strong artistry.
“Good Time” serves as a reminder that some returns are indeed worth the wait. If this single is any indication, While You Wait is shaping up to be an EP that listeners will appreciate for an extended period.
