South African DJ, producer and creative visionary Benny Maverick has released the official music video for “Uyadlala”, a standout track from his forthcoming debut album Valencia, scheduled for release in 2025.
Born Philani Kweyama and hailing from Durban in KwaZulu-Natal, Maverick brings together an all-star lineup on the track, featuring Sykes, McGeba, GL_Ceejay and Orchid Musiq. The visually striking music video stars award-winning actor Thembinkosi Mthembu, who delivers a powerful and emotionally charged lead performance.
The visual narrative unravels a gripping and twisted story centred on love, heartbreak and betrayal, where emotions run deep and nothing is quite as it initially appears. Shot with a cinematic lens, the music video blends raw storytelling with compelling performances, translating the emotional depth of the song into a bold visual experience.
Each scene peels back layers of vulnerability and deception, reinforcing the song’s core themes through dramatic tension and striking imagery. Known for pushing creative boundaries, Benny Maverick has previously collaborated with artists such as Dladla Mshunqisi.
Beyond music, Maverick is also the visionary behind influential lifestyle platforms and events including Goodsundae, Saso’s House and The One Man Concert, further cementing his reputation as a tastemaker and creative entrepreneur.
