Jordan MoOzy Connects with Suhn as Tatenda LXA Shines Behind The Boards on ‘Kryptonite'

It’s been quite the year for Jordan MoOzy after the first half of it saw him feature on DJ Supta’s “Your Love” and deliver a much-awaited return to the scene with his multi-faceted Kalahari Coyote EP. The EP’s Lead single off the project, “No Time” has enjoyed an overwhelming response that sees it occupying the number 2 spot on Yarona FM’s Y20Chart.  Add to that the balmy “Too Much”, alongside Faraii, which has spawned TikTok dance challenges led by choreographer Johanna Elisabeth and “Aluta Continua” with Frost Legato. The latter song has resonated with its message of striving against all odds and rapidly reached the top of Duma FM’s radio charts.  

The second half of the year continues Jordan MoOzy’s hot streak and this time he’s teamed up with Suhn for “Kryptonite”, ably produced by Tatenda LXA. Describing the concept of the song, MoOzy says,

“‘Kryptonite’ is about a big comeback where you have your ops sitting on the edge of their seats shaking in their boots. They don’t know what’s next and all you’re being is badder and better.”

That energy was inspired by the production, which Tatenda LXA crafted with both artists in mind. “The production happened so easily,” Tatenda LXA says. “I was playing around with ideas in the studio trying to find a pocket for both Suhn and Jordan, and ended up going in this direction ‘cause they both loved it.”

The backstory of this link-up of synergies stems from a fruitful musical relationship in the past and an easily forged new one. “⁠I have always known Suhn,” Tatenda LXA continues. “We worked together on a few songs, so he brought Jordan over for a session and from there we just clicked. We made this song the first time I met him!”

With "Kryptonite" sure to lead to more praises from fans and platforms alike, Tatenda LXA is keen on exploring more avenues in terms of sonic direction. “I’m trying to be more intentional with my sound and work,” he says. “I’m also trying to target the international market more as that’s where most of my consumers are. I’m taking it slowly with no rush and establishing relationships as I proceed.” One such relationship that’s bearing fruit is with British band Coldplay who’ve tapped Tatenda LXA as their official DJ, alongside artist Shone Zw on the American leg of the “Music of The Spheres World Tour”. It’s been quite the adventure so far and promises to get even better. “ ⁠Touring with Coldplay is the best thing that ever happened to my career,” Tatenda LXA shares. “It’s been a huge boost and truly an amazing blessing. It’s taught me so many things and I’m excited for some I’m still learning.” That’s the exact energy the production of "Kryptonite" represents and both Jordan MoOzy and Suhn perfectly capture that spirit of trying harder, doing better and going further.
