Yandani Releases Debut EP About You, Exploring Young Love

Yandani just released his very first extended body of work, and it is already turning heads. The Yandani About You EP explores love, relationships, and self-discovery across six tracks. AfrobeatsGlobal breaks down everything behind this debut project.

The twenty-year-old South African artist has built an online following of over one million on TikTok. That growth came through cover performances and original content over the past few years. Recorded across London, Durban, and Cape Town over two years, the EP was produced with Stephen Barnes and Sacha Skarbek.

Inside The Yandani About You EP Sound

Yandani describes his sound as a blend of R&B and pop built for emotional honesty. “I wanted the music to feel emotional and relatable, but still uplifting,” he explained. Even when the songs touch difficult situations, there remains an underlying feeling of confidence throughout. That balance defines the project’s overall tone.

Rather than following one single storyline, About You moves through different emotional stages of young love. The project covers infatuation, uncertainty, heartbreak, healing, and self-worth across its six songs. Furthermore, Yandani hopes listeners recognize pieces of their own experiences within these tracks.

“I want the music to remind them that it’s okay to feel everything,” he said.

How The Project Came Together

Yandani‘s songwriting process typically started with a beat before anything else. He and his collaborators would build melodies together, letting the music guide the emotional direction. Consequently, the tone of each song depended heavily on how the instrumental made him feel in the moment. This organic approach gives the EP a natural, unforced flow.

The lead single and title track, “About You,” centers on devotion and the vulnerability of falling in love. According to Yandani, the song was written for listeners who want to express deep feelings to their partners. Meanwhile, the six-track project also includes “Touch,” “Undecided,” “Forget,” “Room 212,” and “Honeydew.”

As a debut, About You positions Yandani as a fresh voice within South Africa’s growing R&B and pop scene. His large existing fanbase gives the project a strong foundation to build from. Therefore, this release could mark the beginning of a significant new chapter in his career. Fans of emotionally honest pop should keep him on their radar.
