After years away from the spotlight, one of South Africa’s most influential music duos is proving that some stories never really end.
Liquideep, the award-winning duo behind timeless hits including Fairytale, Alone, Still, BBM, and Rise Again, has marked a major milestone in its long-awaited return to the music industry after signing with music distribution company Africori/Warner Music.
For many South Africans, Liquideep’s music defined an era. Their soulful blend of house, R&B, and electronic music dominated airwaves, soundtracked weddings, road trips, and late-night playlists, while Fairytale became one of the country’s most enduring modern classics.
Now, the duo of Thabo “Ryzor” Shokgolo and Jonathan “Ziyon” Hamilton is entering a new chapter, one driven not by nostalgia alone, but by artistic growth and global ambition.
The announcement comes at a time when Liquideep has already found itself back in the spotlight after global superstar Tyla reimagined Fairytale on her much-talked-about sophomore album, APOP. The collaboration has introduced the beloved song to millions of new listeners, creating a full-circle moment for a track that first captured hearts more than a decade ago.
