Preview of Fad Lan’s New Record, Am$zing.

“Am$zing” by Fad Lan is a powerhouse duet that showcases the raw emotion and chemistry of the young act. 

The song, which is written by Fad Lan is an Amapiano ballad about the intensity of how Amazing he is and the fact that he is the only one who can do it. He combines English and his local dialect. 

The production of the record is top-notch, with a simple Amapiano melody that builds to a soaring climax as the singers’ voices intertwine.
