MI CASA Releases Single ‘Church Bells’ from latest Studio Album 'We Made It'

After the huge success in South Africa and Africa, Mi Casa release “Church Bells” in the UK and Europe, taken from their album ‘We Made It” out on 3rd July via Afroforce1 Records and Universal Music Group. Released alongside a powerful video of a space-inspired traditional African wedding, the single immediately topped SA’s most played charts and firmly reminded audiences Mi Casa are leaders in their arena.

“Church Bells” has been described by many as a “wedding song”. The meaning of the song in J’Something’s words: “A love story that focuses on the pride of the protagonist, telling the world they have found the one.” We think it’s a fitting message to all in this time, the message of coming together and sticking out all that life has to offer with our loved ones. Through all that Mi Casa has been through as a team, and through all that we are going through as a nation and as the world, we are made more aware, now more than ever, that we are all so much stronger together.

The band that performed at US President Barack Obama’s Inauguration, is one of South Africa’s most exciting and consistent success stories. Five-time South African Music Awards (SAMA) winners including “Best Duo Group”, “Best Dance Group” and the coveted “Record of the year”.

Sold out concerts in London, Rome, Portugal, Canada, Johannesburg and 23 other African countries. A total of 8 number one singles which included multi-platinum smash hit “Jika” and “Don’t Wanna Be Your Friend”

“We Made it” is a deeper, socio-political look at the dark place we find ourselves in as mankind. With a definite African angle to the lyrics, the sadness of the track is visceral and although perhaps not destined for dancefloor dominance without a remix, the sheer vocal mastery by J’Something, Mo’s melancholy pull of the trumpet and the slowed-down beat take the listener on a journey of awareness. In short, it’s pure fire.

Ten years, countless awards and 5 albums later, the group has signed an international record deal with Afroforce1 Records and Universal Music Group, making them a priority act for their region.

The brand-new album We Made It is a testament to a decade of raw pushing that saw this self-made success story emerge once again on top.
