Daecolm releases "Special"

With “Special,” Daecolm unveils his debut solo single – and takes his trademark sound to the next level: a fusion of energetic Afro-House, driving Amapiano grooves, and smooth R&B melodies. Warm synths, organic percussion, and a striking hook make “Special” the perfect late-summer track – emotional and danceable in equal measure.

Born in Zimbabwe and now based between London and Johannesburg, Daecolm has built an impressive career as a songwriter: with credits for Chris Brown, Wizkid, Ayra Starr, Ty Dolla ign, and Adekunle Gold, he has become one of the most in-demand voices in global music. Since the breakthrough of “I Adore You” – his collaboration with Topic, Hugel, and Arash, now surpassing 425 million Spotify streams – the 33-year-old has also made his mark internationally as a vocalist.

“Special” is more than a debut – it’s a conscious statement as a solo artist. “I’ve never belonged to just one scene – I want to build bridges, between sound, language, and emotion,” says Daecolm. “It just felt right to make this song. It’s part of my story – and the beginning of something truly mine.”
