Thabsie Celebrates Dream Collaboration With Emtee On New Single “Good Time.” South African R&B star Thabsie has stepped back into the spotlight with a vibrant new release that feels both playful and intentional. Her new single, “Good Time,” features hip-hop heavyweight Emtee and serves as the opening track on her long-awaited EP While You Wait.

The song leans into a breezy, flirtatious energy, built on a smooth groove that instantly invites movement. Thabsie describes it as fun and flirtatious, and that mood comes through clearly in the music. It is the kind of track made for summer afternoons, long drives, and gatherings where the volume keeps creeping higher.
For fans who remember her breakout moments on tracks like Ngiyaz’fela Ngawe and African Queen, this return feels familiar but refreshed. Her voice still carries that warm, soulful clarity, now placed over production that feels more playful and rhythm-driven than ever before.
The collaboration with Emtee adds a striking contrast that gives the track its spark. Known for shaping African trap music and building his reputation as one of Mzansi’s most influential rap voices, Emtee brings a grounded, charismatic verse that balances Thabsie’s airy melodies. Together, their styles meet in a way that feels natural rather than forced, creating a back-and-forth energy that keeps the song moving.
Thabsie’s excitement about the collaboration has been clear from the start. She has expressed disbelief and joy at working with Emtee, and that enthusiasm translates into the record itself. There is a sense that both artists met in a creative space where fun mattered as much as precision.
Behind the scenes, the project brings together a strong creative team. Production is handled by @iamlunatik, while writing credits include Emtee, Zingah, and Thabsie herself. The track was mastered by @melarbeats, with visuals shot by @mikasworld_za and creative direction led by @thecreativehandler. Each contributor adds another layer to a release that feels carefully built but easy to listen to.
The single also sets the tone for her EP While You Wait, a project that marks her return after a long pause since her debut album Songs About You. The project carries a sense of patience and intention, as if each song was crafted with a specific moment in mind rather than rushed into the world.
With this release, Thabsie reintroduces herself with confidence, pairing emotional R&B warmth with a more playful sonic edge. Emtee’s presence sharpens the contrast, giving the track an extra layer of attitude and bounce. The result is a song that feels light but not shallow, fun but still grounded in strong artistry.
“Good Time” arrives as a reminder that some returns are worth the wait, and if this is the opening statement, While You Wait is shaping up to be a project that listeners will want to stay with for a while.
