Following the release of her 2015 debut full-length, Rabulapha!, she became a celebrity in her home country, and reached international audiences through her appearances on releases by Beyoncé, Gorillaz, Major Lazer, and others. Her second album, 2022's Phases, incorporated South African dance genres like gqom and amapiano as well as left-field pop.
