Nakhane Is A Lot Of Things But Not A Pop Star

This week, Nakhane launched the music video for Killer 25, his bold rendition of the classic Adamski and Seal song first released in 1990.

While the song was introduced under Adamskis name, Seals distinctive vocals and introspective lyrics helped make it a defining anthem for the early Nineties British rave and house scene.

Touching on themes of breaking free from societal constraints, personal struggles and the need for authenticity, Killer contains ideas that have resonated with listeners across different generations, geographies and backgrounds.

The famous line Its the loneliness thats the killer speaks to the isolation and emotional disconnection relatable to many.

Its success led to the launch of Seals solo career. He later re-recorded Killer for his 1991 debut album but it was George Michaels 1993 cover of the song that first inspired the young Nakhane.
