“DON’T GIVE UP ON ME (REMIX)”: ROWLENE’SSOULFUL PLEA MEETS AFROHOUSE GROOVE
Rowlene’s voice has always carried emotion with quiet strength. Since releasing her debut
single “Imposter” in 2015, the South African singer-songwriter has built a reputation for songs
that feel intimate yet universal. With the Afrohouse remix of “Don’t Give Up on Me,” featuring
collaborators Tashinga Mutakwa and Minenhle Ndlazi, she takes one of her most vulnerable
tracks from her EP Moments After and lets it breathe in a new rhythm, a place where
heartache meets the dance floor.
The remix pulses with deep Afrohouse drums, warm synths, and layered vocals that lift the song
into something both grounding and euphoric. Rowlene’s plea, “Hold on tighter, don’t let go,
don’t give up on me”, remains central, but now it’s wrapped in percussive energy and soulful
textures that echo. Tashinga and Minenhle shape the production with care, blending house
basslines and African rhythmic patterns to create a space where devotion feels alive, urgent,
and danceable.
“Don’t Give Up On Me” is about holding on, through doubt, distance, or difficulty. This version
doesn’t soften the original’s honesty; it amplifies it through movement, turning a quiet request
into a shared moment of hope. “Don’t Give Up on Me (Remix)” is music for when you need to
feel held and for when you need to move to keep believing.
