Kfm Top 40 with Carl Wastie | #KfmTop40 Podcast

Majozi has new music out!

Called ‘Close To You’– the song continues the beautiful love story that Majozi has been taking us on, since the days of ‘Waiting’.

He’s even using the teddy bear from his 2nd anniversary with partner, Daniella, as the mascot for the song.

On Saturday, 2 April 2021, Majozi joined Carl Wastie on the Kfm Top 40 to find out more about the new single, as well as to find out how his Spanish lessons were going (as his previous single, 'Falling', references getting better at Spanish).

Saturday, 20 March 2021 is a day that will be special to Cape Town artist, Amy Tjasink, for a number of reasons.

The artist, who recently charted on the Kfm Top 40 with her single, 'Game Over', which features Jimmy Nevis, will remember 20 March 2021 for two reasons:

With intel of Amy's wedding - and wanting to wish her everything of the best - Carl Wastie called her up, via one of her bridesmaids, Sam, pretending to be the caterer... BIG MISTAKE! He got given just a small taste of bridezilla before he revealed that it was in fact him.

Following the release of Jethro Tait's new single with Craig Lucas, 'Weirdo', on Friday, 5 March 2021 - and the first-time play and interview at Kfm Top 40 Day (an ode to KDay) the very next day on the Kfm Top 40 with Carl Wastie, the song from these two young South African stars made its debut on the award-winning chart show a week later on Saturday, 13 March 2021.

As has become customary on the chart, Carl Wastie decided to blindside Jethro Tait and surprise him with the news. And again, hook, line, sinker, Jethro Tait fell into the trap - thinking he was playing a game called "The Weirdo Challenge" with Carl Wastie, we got to learn more about Jethro Tait - and then was rewarded with the news that he made it onto the chart.
