Nakhane’s desire for songs to dance to has been fulfilled by the unabashed pop of Do You Well. The song is a duet with Perfume Genius and an exuberant invitation to bed. “Normally I’m ‘Oh my God, Jean Cocteau …’ but this one is just rutting sex,” Nakhane says, “which has its place!”

Shortlisted for 2018 Academy Awards® for best foreign language film, The Wound is an exploration of tradition and sexuality set amid South Africa’s Xhosa culture.

Every year, the tribe’s young men are brought to the mountains of the Eastern Cape to participate in an ancient coming-of-age ritual. Xolani, a quiet and sensitive factory worker (played by openly gay musician Nakhane Touré), is assigned to guide Kwanda, a city boy from Johannesburg sent by his father to be toughened up, through this rite of passage into manhood. As Kwanda defiantly negotiates his queer identity within this masculine environment, he quickly recognizes the nature of Xolani’s relationship with fellow guide Vija. The three men commence a dangerous dance with each other and their own desires and, soon, the threat of exposure elevates the tension to breaking point.

The Wound, a film directed by John Trengove.

"Love does not make me clairvoyant
All I know is how to be your servant..."

"Clairvoyant is a sober love song," says Nakhane "When it comes to love songs, you either have ‘Oh, I love you and I can’t live without you’ or ‘Go fuck yourself, you left me, you cheated on me.’ No one talks about the mundane idea of a relationship or love, how it feels to love somebody very much but that week you’re not sexually attracted to them, how you can love someone very, very much but he’s driving you nuts for the day and you literally want to kill him and you look at him and think, ‘Oh, it’s the best thing in my life right now.’ Those little feelings that no one talks about."
