Lady Wisdom

lordkez (real name Keziah Zoë Meyers) is a South African R&B and neo-soul artist known for her soulful voice, genre-blending sound, and poetic lyricism. Originally from Kimberley in the Northern Cape, she was introduced to music through the church—her grandfather was a priest and her mother played the organ. This spiritual and musical upbringing continues to influence her deeply introspective and emotive work.

As a teenager, lordkez moved with her family to Abu Dhabi, where her passion for music was reignited through jam sessions with fellow South Africans. Upon returning to South Africa, she studied sound engineering at the SAE Institute in Cape Town. Her early music uploads on SoundCloud caught the attention of Stay Low, an independent label and management company, marking the beginning of her professional music journey.

In 2023, she released her debut album Testament, a genre-defying body of work that blends R&B, hip-hop, and neo-soul, with themes of love, spirituality, and self-discovery. The album includes collaborations with artists like Shekhinah, Bas, Mars Baby, and Jelani Blackman. It was critically acclaimed and won a South African Music Award (SAMA) for Best R&B/Soul Album.

Beyond music, lordkez is also a poet and visual artist. Her artistic expression is rooted in wellness and introspection—she journals daily, practices affirmations, and views her work as a healing process. Her authenticity and creative versatility have made her one of the most exciting voices in South Africa’s alternative music scene, with growing international recognition.

lordkez - Aweh (8300 remix)

“Didn’t Know I Was Lonely” is a smooth, groove-centered anthem about discovering love’s true depth after years of emotional detachment. The song rides a mellow funk-soul beat with falsetto vocals full of gratitude and revelation. Subtle trap snares and lush saxophone runs frame the shift from surface charm to real connection. It’s not just a love song—it’s a moment of growth, of unmasking. Perfect for anyone who’s ever mistaken independence for fulfillment… until real love showed up.

Didn’t Know I Was Lonely

Meditative neo-soul track exploring connection to nature and a sense of cyclical existence. Poetic lyrics evoke themes of belonging and the earth's embrace.

She in Whom the Breath Spirit is Placed

An emotional soulful number I wrote after thinking what life might be like without the one true love of my life...my wife. One for all those lovers out there that let go of someone who made every bit of the life better.

🍪 COOKIE POETRY – Unbekannter Künstler
Genre: Neo Soul / Indie R&B
Mood: Sensual, reflective, snackishly emotional

Ever written a love letter with frosting?
This track did. Twice.

“Cookie Poetry” is what happens when your heart goes hungry, your brain turns jazzy, and your ex leaves behind nothing but a half-eaten metaphor. Wrapped in lazy grooves, Rhodes keys warm enough to spoon with, and lyrics so vulnerable they need a blanket — this is dessert music for the soul.

🥄 Lyrical content includes:
– Emotional snacking
– Crumb-based therapy
– Flirting with metaphors like they’re on Tinder
– And at least 3 types of baked disappointment

Perfect for:
– Whispering sweet nothings to yourself in the mirror
– Burning candles like they pay rent
– Reflecting on your ex while gently dancing with your feelings in 6/8

Warning: May cause urges to text your situationship at midnight and say, “Hey… you up for some cookie poetry?”

Now press play. Let your heart melt like chocolate chips at room temp.
And remember:
It’s not love — it’s dopamine. In cookie form. 🍪💔🎶

Lyrics:

There’s a silence in my room that tastes like sugar
I dip my loneliness in tea, pretend it’s you
Pages crumble like shortbread in December
But your words are gone, and I’m chewing through the blue

I light a candle like it’s cinnamon memory
I smile at crumbs and call it therapy
This hunger isn't hunger, it’s a metaphor
For what I miss when you walk out that door

I lick the spoon, I wait for grace
Frosting dreams on empty plates
I’m not full — I’m just amused
By all these sweet, poetic ruse

Give it to me — I want your cookie poetry
Something warm and halfway true
A rhyme to bite, a lie to chew
Give it to me — I want your cookie poetry
Let me nibble on your verse
Even if it makes it worse

I’m scrolling through old photos like ingredients
Mix and measure fragments of our heat
You never baked a future, just intentions
Still I swallow every bitter little treat

Midnight cravings for your metaphors
I’d rather fake love than feel the war
So feed me fairytales with icing lines
Till my mouth forgets what truth tastes like

It’s not love — it’s dopamine
In cookie form with whipped-up dreams
I don’t need you — just your art
Packaged crumbs to soothe my heart

Give it to me — I want your cookie poetry
Tell me stories sweet but flawed
Dust my silence with applaud
Give it to me — I want your cookie poetry
Bake me stanzas soft and round
So I don’t miss your solid ground

I know it’s empty calories
But I’d rather chew than starve on honesty
Your poems melt like chocolate lies
Still I beg for one more bite

Give it to me — I want your cookie poetry
Let it drip like honeyed shame
I’ll pretend you feel the same
Give it to me — I want your cookie poetry
One more line before you go
One more taste of sweet, not soul

Cookie Poetry (Neo Soul / Indie R&B Version)

You know me in the game. This is my music.

If I Say Goodbye
