A GRAMMY-winning flautist, a chart-topping producer and an internationally acclaimed singer-songwriter have come together for a collaboration that is turning heads around the world. Golden is already proving to be something special.
South Africa (23 June 2026) – For years, Wouter Kellerman has been taking South African music to some of the world’s biggest stages, Daniel Baron has been crafting chart-topping hits and Cara Frew has been building a career that stretches across continents.
Now they’ve come together for “Golden”.
The cinematic pop anthem, infused with Afro-inspired rhythms and world music influences, celebrates love and human connection. And it seems to be striking exactly the right chord. In just ten days, the music video has garnered more than 420,000 views on YouTube, introducing new listeners to a collaboration that feels both fresh and proudly South African.
“Golden” brings together three artists whose individual careers have already earned international recognition. Wouter Kellerman is one of South Africa’s most celebrated musicians, a three-time GRAMMY® Award winner whose unique ability to blend world, classical and contemporary music has captivated audiences from New York to Sydney. His work continues to place South African artistry on some of the world’s most prestigious stages, while his recent National Order of Ikhamanga in Gold further recognised his contribution to the country’s cultural heritage.
Alongside him is Daniel Baron, a platinum-selling singer, songwriter, producer and multi-instrumentalist whose fingerprints can be found on some of South Africa’s biggest hits. With more than 30 number-one songs and over 20 million streams, Baron has spent years pushing creative boundaries, both as a performer and as one of the country’s most sought-after producers.
Cara Frew completes the trio… the South African-born singer-songwriter whose distinctive blend of pop, acoustic textures and African influences has earned her a global following. From performances at Coachella and Ultra Music Festival to collaborations with Black Coffee, Frew continues to build a career that connects audiences across cultures and continents.
The song was released just ten days ago and the response online has been overwhelmingly positive.
One listener commented, “Our legend in South Africa. Super proud 🎉 love the song and haven’t heard you on a pop song. It’s beautifully done. Loving it! Please more pop and amapiano songs ❤”
