South Africa’s hit-making DJ and producer Sketchy Bongo makes a
triumphant return after a five-year hiatus with his brand-new album One26
On M, and the project’s lead single is already turning heads. “No Getting
Over You,” featuring frequent collaborator and multi-award-winning singer-
songwriter Jimmy Nevis, is officially out now and it’s primed for major radio
support.
A vibrant Afro-house pop track with emotional depth, “No Getting Over You”
blends Sketchy Bongo’s unmistakable production style with Jimmy Nevis’
signature soulful vocals. Together, they deliver a song that hits you in the
heart and gets you moving at the same time - the mark of a true radio smash.
At its core, the single explores the complexity of heartbreak and the painful
reality of trying to move on.
“This song marks a return for myself and Sketchy Bongo. We put this song
together in one session. For me, the song is an emotional roller-coaster you
can dance to, which is really what being an adult is like sometimes,” says
Jimmy Nevis.
The single also signifies the long-awaited next chapter for Sketchy Bongo,
whose catalogue of hits has shaped South African pop and crossover music
over the past decade. His unmistakable sound has fuelled chart-toppers such
as “Back to the Beach” with Shekhinah and Kyle Deutsch, “Cold Shoulder”
with Locnville, “Let You Know,” “Love Me in the Dark,” and his previous
smash with Jimmy Nevis, “All About It.”
With “No Getting Over You,” Sketchy signals a bold return and one that is
refreshed, re-energised, and ready to dominate the airwaves again.
