Fresh out of the Zoo

(Oct 2025)

The artist, Zanzi Africa’s latest single, World Beneath My Feet is a heartfelt tribute to motherhood, written by the legendary Dennis East. This easy listening, feel-good country single was inspired by the birth of her firstborn, Reuben, and carries a message of hope, prayer, and unconditional love. 

Dennis East wrote the song shortly after Reuben was born, knowing how deeply she had prayed for a son of her own. It was the final song he composed for her before his passing. Over the years, the two collaborated closely, producing several full country albums together. This song stands as a personal gift and a musical legacy she will always treasure. 

“Dennis knew how I prayed to have a boy of my own,” she shares. “When Reuben was born, he wrote this song for me, it’s something I’ll cherish forever.” The lyrics reflect the powerful emotions of a mother whose love for her child knows no bounds. 

While the story behind the song is deeply emotional, the melody remains light and accessible, a single that is easy to listen to and leaves listeners feeling uplifted. The artist believes many women will resonate with the longing for motherhood and the joy that comes with it. 

The music video for World Beneath My Feet was filmed on a rooftop, a symbolic choice that captures the vastness of the world beneath her feet. Yet even this great world cannot compare to her love for her children. The video is a visual celebration of her emotions and the strength of maternal love. 

Produced by Abel Arts Productions, the video stands out with its vibrant colours and proudly South African aesthetic. Her music videos are known for their originality, bold visuals, and the artist’s signature style and energy.
