Johannesburg R&B artiste; Joda Kgosi meshes raw emotions, tales of sad romance and profound storytelling on her debut E.P; Sour Milk.

In July 2021, Sour Milk won Apple Music’s award for the best release of the month.
I Miss You; the lead track explores raw emotions of a place we all have been at some point in our lives; a relationship that ended badly. Do we think the people that hurt us suck? Maybe. But does that make them bad people? Maybe not. On I Miss You, Joda Kgosi collectively infuses all our emotions and thoughts in balmy vocals and resonant rhythm, telling us that we’re humans, we feel the same pain, and we’re all alone in this together.
