Johannesburg, South Africa – August , 2026 – Award-winning singer-songwriter Elaine reunites with global hitmakers Major League DJz for their irresistible new single, “One More Dance”, featuring acclaimed producers Atmos Blaq and Mpho.wav. Released alongside an official music video, the record captures the fleeting magic of a perfect night out, blending emotive songwriting with immersive Afro-electronic production.
Built around shimmering synths, hypnotic rhythms and Elaine’s unmistakable vocals, One More Dance is a celebration of those rare moments you wish could last forever. It is a song about holding onto connection, joy and the energy of the dancefloor just a little longer. Atmospheric yet uplifting, the collaboration effortlessly bridges Elaine’s soulful R&B roots with the forward-thinking sounds that continue to redefine African dance music.
“‘One More Dance’ hits different,” says Elaine. “It’s that feeling when the night is perfect and you already know you’re going to miss it before it’s even over. We wanted to bottle that emotion into a record. It’s about not wanting a good thing to end, and I think everyone can relate to that.”
The release marks another exciting chapter in Elaine’s growing relationship with dance music. She recently featured on Skyla Tylaa‘s Vele Uyena alongside JAZZWRLD and Thukuthela, further showcasing her versatility across genres. One More Dance also reunites her with Major League DJz following their 2023 collaboration All Night Long with Yumbs, which became a runaway success, reaching No. 1 on South Africa’s national radio airplay chart according to Radiomonitor.
For Major League DJz, the collaboration continues their mission of championing African sounds on the global stage, while Atmos Blaq and Mpho.wav add their signature sonic textures to create a record that feels equally at home on festival stages, late-night dancefloors and personal playlists.
Born Ndivhuwo Elaine Mukheli in Pretoria, South Africa, Elaine has become one of the continent’s defining musical voices. Her platinum-certified debut project, Elements, made history by becoming the first independently released album by a female artist to reach No. 1 on the Apple Music Sub-Saharan Africa chart. Since then, she has continued to build an international profile, opening for Chris Brown‘s 2024 South African tour in front of more than 90,000 fans, appearing on the covers of Glamour South Africa and GQ South Africa Digital, and representing African creativity on the global stage, including attending Mugler’s New York Fashion Week launch.
With One More Dance, Elaine continues to push beyond traditional genre boundaries, proving once again that her voice can move seamlessly between intimate R&B storytelling and the pulse of contemporary African dance music. Together with Major League DJz, Atmos Blaq and Mpho.wav, she delivers a record that captures the universal desire to stay in the moment just a little longer.
