InDuna, the talented South African self-taught artist and producer, is making waves with his latest song, “Say What You Want.” This soulful track carries a vital message about the significance of open and honest communication in maintaining healthy and thriving relationships.
“Say What You Want” is a musical reminder that effective communication is the foundation of strong connections. In relationships, whether they’re romantic, familial, or platonic, clarity in expressing thoughts, desires, and needs is essential. The song emphasizes that no one possesses the ability to read minds, making it imperative to openly convey one’s feelings and intentions.
InDuna’s journey to creating “Say What You Want” is both intriguing and relatable. The catchy chorus of the song sprang to life during a heated argument with his ex-girlfriend. Interrupting the conversation, he rushed to the piano to play those memorable notes and the chorus, which ultimately became the song’s core. Remarkably, InDuna returned to the conversation with a newfound musical idea.
However, the song remained incomplete for two years as he grappled with how to start it and add verses. The breakthrough occurred when InDuna moved to Auckland and collaborated with David from Nesian Mystik. Together, they breathed life into the song, and the missing verses finally found their place. They discovered that adding some guitar was the missing piece of the puzzle, and David’s assistance helped bring it all together. Later on, InDuna joined forces with Jpec to fine-tune the song, preparing it for their upcoming project.
