Afro-soul and pop artists Una Rine and Osome Feyn have teamed up to release their eagerly awaited debut EP, Crossroads, on 3 May — a soulful reflection on personal transformation. Featuring six tracks, the EP takes listeners on an emotional journey shaped by the duo's own experiences of hardship, growth and introspection.
Una Rine, born Una Rine Junior Mulondo from Mulodi village, and Osome Feyn, born Vhuthu Tshisikule of Sabina Plaza in Thohoyandou, are steadily climbing the ladder to success with passion and purpose. From confronting inner battles to embracing change, Crossroads offers an authentic glimpse into their creative vision — one that resonates with anyone navigating life's challenges.
Created during a period of creative and emotional upheaval, Crossroads is a deeply personal body of work that blends vulnerability with strength. With heartfelt lyrics and a sound that combines emotional intensity with soulful introspection, Una Rine said the EP invited listeners into a space of self-discovery and healing.
"This is our very first EP as a duo, and it marks the true beginning of something deeper. It's the start of a creative partnership we're both incredibly excited about. We're already dreaming up what's next, because this EP barely scratches the surface of what we want to explore together," he said.
According to the duo, the messages in Crossroads are drawn from lived experience. Both artists have faced periods of emotional, financial and spiritual uncertainty. One standout track, Balance My Life, speaks directly to the juggling act many people know all too well.
They hope the songs offer listeners not only moments of reflection but also a sense of connection and comfort. "The response has been beautiful. People are connecting with the emotional honesty, the blend of our voices, and the intention behind every lyric. It truly feels like the beginning of a long and meaningful chapter," said Osome Feyn.
