Marcus Harvey Dives Into New Depths With Single “Waters.” Marcus Harvey has returned with a brand-new single, “Waters,” giving fans another taste of the immersive sound that has become his trademark. Released on Friday, 7 August 2026, the record arrives as anticipation continues to build for his upcoming album, SON OF ELVIS, which is set to drop on 28 August.

Born Lawrence Ofentse Harvey Mashiloane in Alexandra, Marcus Harvey unveiled the single in his signature understated style. Instead of an elaborate rollout, the artist shared a simple social media post revealing the song’s title, release date and production credits.
“Waters” was produced by longtime collaborator Fiji Mageba, with mixing and mastering handled by @whoisklem. The release continues a creative partnership that has helped shape some of Harvey’s most intimate and sonically rich music.
The single lands at a significant moment in Harvey’s career. Following the critical acclaim of his 2024 album Now You Know Me, he has continued to build momentum through standout releases and collaborations, including Mapula, “Come To Me” with Mick Jenkins and his memorable appearance on 25K’s “Deep Waters.” With each release, Harvey has further cemented his reputation as one of South Africa’s most distinctive and consistent musical voices.
Still signed to Stay Low Records, Harvey remains committed to the sound that has earned him a loyal following. His seamless blend of English and Sepedi, paired with elements of jazz, boom bap, alternative R&B and Afro soul, continues to produce music that feels both deeply personal and sonically expansive.
Within hours of its release, listeners began sharing the track across social media, echoing the quiet but meaningful reception that greeted fan favourites such as “Lerato,” “Fountains” and “Malume.” In an era driven by viral moments, Harvey continues to stand apart by prioritising atmosphere, emotional honesty and artistic consistency.
The release of “Waters” also serves as another preview of what listeners can expect from SON OF ELVIS, Marcus Harvey’s forthcoming album due for release on 28 August. With excitement steadily growing around the project, the new single offers another glimpse into the artistic direction of what could become one of his most anticipated releases to date.
For listeners who have followed Marcus Harvey’s journey from I Am Marcus Harvey to the refined storytelling of Now You Know Me, “Waters” feels like a natural progression. As the countdown to SON OF ELVIS continues, Harvey once again proves that his greatest strength lies in creating music that resonates long after the first listen.
