DREAMER

Lilac Twilight

The Road To Hell Is Paved With Good Intentions

Turn Me Inside (feat. Léa Sen)

I Am the Storm

[Intro]
I don’t crawl. I don’t pray.
I don’t break. I don’t stay.
I clash. I tear. I form.
I am the STORM.


---

[Verse 1]
You wanted calm, but I brought the flood,
I carve my name in fire and mud.
You touched the sky—
And felt the crack,
Now thunder follows every step you lack.

[Pre-Chorus]
You mistook silence for my grace,
But I was lightning in disguise.
You thought desire could be contained,
But I’m the tempest in your veins.


---

[Chorus]
I don’t whisper, I roar.
I don’t leave, I pour.
I don’t heal, I consume,
Like shadows crashing in a midnight room.
I’m not your shelter, I’m the fight,
Relentless, fierce, no end in sight.
No soft horizon to keep you warm—
I am the STORM.


---

[Verse 2]
You prayed for peace, but I brought the flood,
Every word you spoke—drowned in my blood.
You can’t bind wind, you can’t hold rain,
I’ll haunt your walls, I’ll shake your name.

[Pre-Chorus]
I gave no mercy, made no vow,
I cracked the sky—I’m breaking now.
You wanted beauty with no cost,
But I was chaos, and you got lost.


---

[Chorus]
I don’t whisper, I roar.
I don’t leave, I pour.
I don’t heal, I consume,
Like shadows crashing in a midnight room.
I’m not your shelter, I’m the fight,
Relentless, fierce, no end in sight.
No soft horizon to keep you warm—
I am the STORM.


---

[Bridge]
Hear the thunder.
Feel the flood.
Say my name… I’m in your blood.
I don’t bend. I break.
I don’t love— I take.


---

[Outro]
You kissed the rain.
You knew the cost.
You’ll carry me…
In every loss.
I am the STORM.


I Am the Storm

I want to dance until the morning

Stranger Than Fiction

Spoek Mathambo is a South African artist, musician, songwriter & filmmaker. With three critically acclaimed solo albums under his belt,  not to mention his collaborative projects Fantasma and Batuk, and a documentary on SA electronic music (Future Sound of Mzansi), Spoek Mathambo is a prolific creative, a true music activist, showcasing and stretching the limits of electronic music and hip hop.

On his new album Tales From A Lost City, producer and rapper Spoek Mathambo revisits his first love, Hip-Hop, with a project steeped in rich storytelling, razor sharp social commentary and an endless reserve of gymnastic flows. The concept album drives a cross section through South Africa 2020, to give a view of a highly complex and volatile society struggling to come to grips with its post Apartheid “rainbow nation” dream/nightmare. Spoek Mathambo takes Hip-Hop, the great crucible of culture, and creates a colorful ride through a diverse set of soundscapes, each emboldening Mathambo’s no-holds-bar approach to songwriting. 

The eclectic self produced album features guest appearances from scratch DJ Raiko and collaborations with Batuk, Spizzy, Mark Mushiva, Vuyo and Daev Martian.
