The Witch’s Flight is guided by the question; “What does freedom SOUND like?” Taking heed to this, amapiano becomes a portal and a sonic guide to diverse freedom dreams. The Witch’s Flight is the quest for a Black feminist sensibility structured in a series of sonic experimentations that center South Africa and the larger African diaspora.

On this week’s episode of The Witch’s Flight, Zama Dube sits down with British-Nigerian artist Shae Universe for an intimate conversation on migration, creativity, vulnerability, and becoming.

Shae Universe is a singer, songwriter, and sonic storyteller whose music moves fluidly between alternative R&B, soul, jazz, and atmospheric electronic textures. Fresh off her move from London to Los Angeles, Shae reflects on diasporic identity, emotional reinvention, and the inherited interior worlds carried by children of African migration.

Moving between music, memory, spirituality, and Black womanhood, the conversation explores softness as a form of resistance, sound as emotional archive, and the complexities of intimacy in contemporary life. Together, Zama and Shae Universe reflect on longing, belonging, sensuality, and the emotional textures that shape Black diasporic artistic practice.
