Singer-songwriter Jessica Chaz is sharing a radiant new remix of her single, “Promise of Sunlight,” reimagined alongside South African jazz pianist and longtime collaborator, Lindi Ngonelo. Originally from Durban and now based in Vancouver, Chaz brings a global influence to her music, blending her soulful roots with an uplifting message of resilience and hope.

The remix is part of Chaz’s Promise of Sunlight Remixes EP, a special collection that features multiple reinterpretations of the track, originally from her 2023 River EP. Each remix showcases a collaboration with artists from Brazil, South Africa, the USA, and Canada, with each musician bringing a unique cultural perspective to the track. From EDM influences to live jazz instrumentation, the EP offers a diverse sonic palette that reflects Chaz’s journey and dedication to cross-cultural collaboration.

Written during the depths of the pandemic, “Promise of Sunlight” was inspired by the belief in new beginnings and the promise of brighter days. With this remix, Ngonelo’s unique blend of groove and live instrumentation helps infuse the song with an organic warmth that speaks to that hopeful message.

This remix EP was a global project, with each artist bringing their own culture and sound to the track. Lindi’s version is a beautiful reminder that even in hard times, there’s light to be found – a message we all need. – Jessica Chaz
