Khale, also known as Musickhale, is a South African-based Afrobeats singer who is taking the music scene by storm with his EP “Airplane Mode.” The six-track collection showcases his versatility, creativity, and talent, drawing comparisons to Nigerian superstar Dbanj.

Dbanj, who rose to fame in the mid-2000s with hits like “Tongolo,” “Fall in Love,” and “Oliver Twist,” has been less active in recent years. However, Dbanj has achieved several accolades in the music industry. He has collaborated with big names like Kanye West and won awards like the MTV Europe Music Awards.

Khale’s music is influenced by his life experiences and the music he grew up listening to, which may include Dbanj’s songs. His song “Ups N Downs” featuring Solopii has a blend of afrobeat, R&B and hip-hop elements, similar to Dbanj’s style. His song “Oluwa” has a soulful and uplifting feel, reminiscent of Dbanj’s “Olorun Maje” from 2008. His song “Pariwo” is a solo track with playful and fun lyrics, fusing Afrobeats, dancehall and pop elements with a smooth blend of pidgin and English, just like Dbanj’s “Tongolo.”

Khale does not see himself as a replacement for Dbanj, but rather as a fan and a colleague who respects his work. He is carving his own niche in the Afrobeats genre, and his fans are loving It.
