The South African music stars are teaming up for an EP exploring love, conflict and the unspoken rules of modern relationships.

What started with a kiss in a music video has now turned into a full music collaboration.

South African artists Nadia Nakai and Toss are joining forces for their upcoming collaborative EP, Do’s & Don’ts, a project that explores the highs, lows and often complicated rules that come with modern relationships.

The collaboration follows a viral moment earlier this year when the two artists shared a kiss in Toss’s music video, released on Valentine’s Day.

The scene quickly sent fans into speculation about whether there was more to their relationship, sparking dating rumours and plenty of online conversation.

Now, the pair are giving listeners a different reason to talk.

Two worlds, one relationship

Do’s & Don’ts is built around the idea of two people falling for each other despite coming from very different backgrounds.

Toss brings his perspective from the hood, while Nadia Nakai draws from her suburban upbringing. Those differences become part of the EP’s storytelling, particularly in how the two characters communicate, express affection, deal with conflict and understand loyalty.

Rather than presenting relationships from one point of view, the project explores both sides of the story.

From attraction to arguments

Across the EP, Nadia and Toss move through different stages of a relationship, beginning with attraction and excitement before getting into the more complicated territory of arguments, jealousy and trust issues.

The songs also explore what happens when two people have different ideas about what is acceptable in a relationship and struggle to meet each other halfway.

At its core, Do’s & Don’ts looks at what happens when two people like each other but do not necessarily speak the same emotional language.

Scene Feed thought

A viral kiss may have started the speculation, but turning that moment into a music project is a much more interesting plot twist.

Whether fans are here for the music, the chemistry or to figure out what is really going on between Nadia and Toss, Do’s & Don’ts is giving everyone something to talk about.
