    Lordkez Risks It All For Love In New Single ‘Holy Matrimony.’

    Instant gratification and access provided by social media make us indifferent to romantic acts like “risking it all.” After the capture of a moment between Rihanna and Carmelo Anthony in 2018, risking it all took on a life of its own. Almost five years later, hopeful and hopeless romantics still tiptoe around the risk of giving up everything for love. Soulful alternative artist Lordkez’s new single, ‘Holy Matrimony,’ tells a story about the reward of risking it all. The track is full of heart and vouches for the beauty of pain and patience on the road to healing. 

    Originally from the diamond-mining city of Kimberley in the Northern Cape, Lordkez’s tone and texture are a unique find. She is a poetic singer/songwriter inspired by established acts like Erykah Badu and IAMDDB. Clearly, Lordkez mirrors their off-centre style in ‘Holy Matrimony’s’ cover art and visuals. Furthermore, the eye-catching styling proves that she understands what it takes to elevate neo-soul to the next level.

    ‘Holy Matrimony’ is the lead single for her much-anticipated debut album Testament, set to drop on June 2. Unquestionably, fans met the first lady of Stay Low’s album announcement with excitement after the postponement of the album release in 2022. “It takes an awful amount of courage to mend wounds you haven’t made,” she said about her road to relief. After dropping heat non-stop since 2019, Lordkez hopes that sharing her healing journey might help others find and keep true love as she has during her hiatus. 

    Lordkez is no stranger to commitments and collaborations that resonate with the time we find ourselves in. Lead single ‘Rain’ from her critically acclaimed 2020 EP, Charcotta, holds over 1 million streams on Spotify. For many, it will be their first encounter with her desire to heal, and “Holy Matrimony” presents as the desired outcome of the healing journey. In addition, her collaboration with Shekhinah on the hit single ‘belladonna’ introduced Lordkez’s enduring possessiveness of her time and people. However, in ‘Holy Matrimony,’ her craving is directed at a special person for their patience with her in tough times.

    Above all, ‘Holy Matrimony’ sounds and feels like the first song on a soundtrack about sexy, wholesome love. In truth, she believes in love’s magical powers and is a soldier ready to fight when that love is under attack. Indeed, commitment takes on many different shapes and forms today, and Lordkez recalls her moment with tender pride. “Obviously, it wasn’t a good idea to swim in the ocean with a new tattoo. I didn’t care,” she said about the moment that inspired the song. “To this day, he leaves kisses on my tattoo. So, I dedicated the song to him and to the mother of the ocean.”

    Ultimately, let’s risk it all and ready ourselves for the love-filled reward. Stream Lordkez’s new single ‘Holy Matrimony’ now on all streaming platforms.
