Fusing her experience as a theatre actor with expressive R&B, Durban-born singer-songwriter Nanette crafts cathartic, unfiltered soul centred on challenges both personal and societal. For YVNG and FREE, she’s curated a collection of work from other artists who aren’t afraid to get real—featuring tracks from Filah Lah Lah, Yamiko, Tyla, Saint Levant, YG Marley, Stixx and more. “The artists in this playlist all represent what I love about music and being a musician,” Nanette tells Apple Music. “They’re like alchemists, turning pain into passion and art. I admire that. And their music speaks to things we’ve all been through, or at least understand.” Hear something that resonates with you? Add it to your library.
