Two-time Grammy nominated and platinum-selling global icon Karyn White, the voice behind timeless hits Superwoman, Romantic, and The Way You Love Me, is set to grace South African fans with a one-night-only live performance at Kirstenbosch National Botanical Gardens on 2 April 2026.

This exclusive Cape Town concert promises an unforgettable evening of classic R&B, soul, and nostalgia as one of the genre’s most influential voices returns to the stage. Here’s everything you need to know.

Karyn White: An R&B and Soul Superstar

Best known for defining an era with the timeless anthem Superwoman, Karyn White has long been synonymous with strength, vulnerability, and emotional honesty. Decades into a career that has shaped R&B and soul music globally, she now returns with a record that reflects evolution rather than nostalgia. You’re Gonna Want Me Back is grown woman energy in its purest form.

Rooted in modern soul and R&B with classic influences, the single blends rich melodies, live instrumentation, and Karyn White’s unmistakable vocal authority. It captures the quiet clarity that comes with emotional maturity, when self-worth no longer needs explanation and walking away feels like peace rather than loss.

Joining Karyn White on the night is acclaimed South African singer-songwriter Ami Faku, whose rich, emotive vocals and genre-blending sound have earned her widespread recognition across the continent. Known for hit songs such as Inde Lendlela and Ubuhle Bakho, Ami Faku brings a powerful contemporary soul presence that perfectly complements Karyn White’s legacy of strength, love and storytelling through music.

The one-night-only concert promises an evening of classic hits across R&B and soul, set against the backdrop of Table Mountain. Tickets are expected to sell out fast, so make sure to grab yours today.
