Advertorial

South African queer singer/songwriter Miloh Ramai is back with an enthralling new single, Pure Hearts, the third track from his much-anticipated EP, Coven.

Known for his captivating lyricism and genre-bending sound, Ramai continues to explore the complexities of human desire in this latest release.

Produced by long-time collaborator Sloani, Pure Hearts is a mesmerizing blend of electropop and poetic storytelling, diving deep into the duality between purity and hidden passion.

Ramai wrote the song as part of a personal challenge, crafting vivid poetry that captures the rawness of lust and longing, all set to a pulsating, modern beat.

The song’s lyrics offer a tantalizing glimpse into this tension: “I see your true intentions, scarlet veiled behind an ivory curtain masking that to which I am inclined…’’ and “You can wear your pure heart on your sleeve, you can save your wicked mind for me…

These lines paint a picture of a lover whose outward innocence masks an intense, seductive side, giving listeners a sense of the magnetic push and pull between purity and temptation.

Ramai explains the inspiration behind the track: “When I wrote Pure Hearts, I aimed to capture the magnetic pull between what is visible and what lies beneath,” says Ramai. “It’s about those secret, powerful desires that only emerge in private, revealing a side of someone that few ever see.”

With evocative imagery such as, “…ruby-coloured hunger within a pearl disguise, a crimson garden thriving beneath alabaster skies…” the track further explores the hidden depths of desire, wrapped in a soundscape that’s both infectious and haunting.

The Pretoria-based Miloh Ramai is known for his performances, unique fashion choices and genre-blending music. He wrote his first song at the age of 15 and went on to train in jazz although he always wanted to sing pop music. With a growing discography and a distinct artistic vision, Miloh Ramai has garnered a dedicated following.

Available now on all streaming platforms, Pure Hearts is just a taste of what’s to come from Ramai’s upcoming EP. As he continues to push creative boundaries, fans can expect more from this talented artist who’s making waves in South Africa’s music scene.

Keep an ear out for Coven, which promises to deliver more of Ramai’s distinct mix of emotion and innovation.
