Nanette Opens Up About The Responsibility Behind Her Music. In a candid and introspective moment on SABC 2’s Eintlek_Lets_Connect, South African R&B artist Nanette opened up about the profound responsibility she feels as a musician, describing her craft as both a healing force and a double-edged sword capable of creating or destroying lives.
“I definitely believe that music is healing, and that’s a big part of why I’m doing it here,” Nanette told the show’s hosts. Her words carried the weight of someone who has clearly reflected deeply on the impact of her art in a world hungry for hope yet fragile to harm.
Nanette went further, embracing the full spectrum of artistic power. “I definitely do view myself as someone who has the power to heal, but also as someone who might have the power to destroy,” she said. “And I think that’s the power behind art. The words you say could really create life or destroy life.”
The artist’s perspective frames music not merely as entertainment, but as a potent spiritual and emotional tool, one that demands careful stewardship. Rather than shying away from this duality, Nanette channels it into intentional creation. Her goal, she explained, is to craft songs that empower listeners to build better versions of themselves while releasing what no longer serves them.
“And so I just try to make music that can help people create life for themselves and let go of the things that are destroying life for them,” she added.
This philosophy shines through in her discography. In her recent single “Baggage”, Nanette delivers a raw, soul-stirring reflection on emotional weight, heartbreak, and the liberating act of choosing oneself by letting go, a direct embodiment of releasing what destroys life. Tracks like “Suddenly” explore the vulnerable awakening of unexpected love and self-discovery, while “Abazali” serves as a heartfelt ode to family and roots, celebrating the foundational love that creates and sustains life.
Her broader body of work, including songs from the album Painfully Happy and earlier releases like “Vent” and “Dream Girl”, consistently blends therapeutic storytelling with soothing vocals, inviting listeners to process pain, embrace growth, and find catharsis.
