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.

Summer Days (V.6)

Unu sola bato
 
Verso 1
Infano ploras ie en la mondo
Tio estas mi, tio estas vi
Sub la sama ĉielo, doloro profunde
Kiam la homa koro perdas la fidon

Antaŭ-ritornelo
Sed se ni etendas manon, sen timo, sen flago
Ni vidos ke espero ne vivas nur en parolo

Ĥoro
Unu sola bato
Por milionoj da animoj
Unu sola ĵuro
Ne plu levi armilojn
Ami sen kondiĉo
Kiel evidenteco
Paco estas la kialo
De nia ekzistado

Verso 2
Muroj falas kun la vento
Malnovaj malamoj jam ne havas sezonon
Kiam ni elektas ami vere, libere
Ni malarmas la koro(j)n, rompas la prizonon

Antaŭ-ritornelo
Rideto donita valoras pli ol oro
Sincera pardono estas vera trezoro

Ĥoro
Unu sola bato
Por milionoj da animoj
Unu sola ĵuro
Ne plu levi armilojn
Ami sen kondiĉo
Kiel evidenteco
Paco estas la kialo
De nia ekzistado

Ponteto
Ĝi ne estas revo, nek iluzio
Estas longa vojo kun horizonto
Kaj en niaj manoj, mondo por formi
Sen timo ami

Lasta ĥoro (milde, poste kreskanta)
Unu sola bato
Por milionoj da animoj
Unu sola ĵuro
Ne plu levi armilojn
Ami sen kondiĉo
Kiel evidenteco
Paco estas la kialo...
De nia ekzistado


Unu sola bato
