South African Indie Voice Archi Wraps Up Throwing Stones
Singer-songwriter Archi returns with his brand-new single Glass, a reflective and emotionally charged closer to his upcoming album Throwing Stones. Written, produced, and completed entirely by Archi, Glass captures the moment of coming home after change – when you’ve followed your destiny and realised you no longer fit where you started. “I love the thought of following your destiny and how that can change you so much that you no longer belong where you came from,” Archi shares.
The single marks both an ending and a beginning: the final track on Throwing Stones, and a symbolic reflection on growth and transformation. For Archi, it’s deeply personal.
“Writing and making this song felt like a breakthrough. It was the sound of stepping into a new chapter of my life.”
Archi continues to define his sound through honesty, subtle vulnerability, and minimalist production that keeps emotion front and centre. As 2025 comes to a close, his focus remains grounded in purpose and persistence.
“Work hard and stay consistent, never be scared to try new things,” he reflects. “That’s been the biggest lesson this year.”
Looking ahead, Archi’s vision for 2026 is simple but driven: more music, more shows, and more connection.
