When the pioneers of Amapiano said they want to take Amapiano to the world, they did not expect for the world to ‘steal’ their hard work. American songstress by the name of Jorja Smith teased her new “Amapiano” single produced by Guilty Beatz and it is called All Of This.
Whilst some South Africans are on the fence about the single saying it does not sound like your typical Amapiano song, some could not help but recognise the comparison to Heavy K’s Easy To Love.
Jorja’s song is said to be a slower version of Heavy K‘s Easy To Love featuring Bucie. This has sent Tweeps on a frenzy and they are angered by the lack of acknowledgement by Jorja and her producer. “Give credit where it’s due!” is what the timeline is fighting for and Heavy K is fuming.
Not only does the song apparently sound like a replica of Heavy K’s Easy To Love, but fans are also trying to figure out what makes the song a Piano when it gives off House Music vibes.
Have a listen and be the judge.
Piano to the world
All Of This out now @GuiltyBeatz https://t.co/oLkNv6N0Ki pic.twitter.com/Z2yzablnxI— Jorja Smith (@JorjaSmith) August 5, 2021
Another issue raised is the fact that she wrote “Piano to the world” which makes it seem as though SHE is the one taking the genre overseas.
A touch from Kabza De Small ,De Mthuda or Abidoza woulda sent this through the roof. Vocals are fire doe! Piano to the world!!!! https://t.co/TPjRHwMJG6

Cassper Nyovest said the song is missing something very vital to make it an Amapiano song. “I said the song is missing a touch from the Amapiano producers. Kabza De Small , De Mthuda or Abidoza woulda added magic to it. Especially cause she said piano to the world , meaning she was looking for the Amapiano sound.”
He did commend the vocals though, “A touch from Kabza De Small ,De Mthuda or Abidoza woulda sent this through the roof. Vocals are fire doe! Piano to the world!!!!”
Tweeps are enraged and want Heavy K to sue!
if guilty beatz hasn’t paid royalties to heavy k (who i think remixed that beat from someone else but i could be wrong), then that’s a problem. but when we talk about “south african artists and producers need to be consulted), we shouldn’t pretend like our own house is in order

Someone should tell her it’s not Amapiano…. In fact it sounds like a sampled house beat by Heavy K. https://t.co/C7IFPg381E
