Wide Open Spaces
Out Now: “Wide Open Spaces” – The Cape Town Summer Anthem.
The wait is over. ABFAB has officially released their highly anticipated third single, “Wide Open Spaces,” now available on all major streaming platforms. After building massive momentum with their previous hits, the band is taking the stage live on SABC3 Expresso this Monday 20-04-2026 to celebrate the track’s success and its status as the ultimate “windows down, volume up” anthem.
The Sound:
Produced by Brad Grobler at Lab Records (Netherlands), “Wide Open Spaces” delivers a polished, sophisticated Indie-Pop Folk sound. Critics and fans alike are describing the track as “Taylor Swift meets Pink,” blending intimate storytelling with a driving energy built for radio. It’s a refreshing departure from standard pop, offering a chill-out, lo-fi aesthetic that has already become a staple for road trip playlists.
The Story:
The song is a tribute to deep-seated friendship and the universal need for escape.
The Lyrical Heart: Born from a writing journey by vocalist Lisa Hugo, the lyrics are inspired by a love for family, nature, and the horizon. It articulates that visceral urge to break free from the daily grind and find clarity within the vast South African landscape.
“This isn’t just a track; it’s a celebration of the Cape Town spirit,” says the band. “We wanted to capture that specific feeling of good friends, long drives, and the freedom of the open road. It’s the sound of our upcoming album, ‘Unfinished Business,’ coming to life.”
Don’t miss ABFAB performing “Wide Open Spaces” live on SABC3 Expresso this Monday morning!
‘Tequila Nights’
“Tequila nights” features the powerful vocal talents of renowned Cape Town singer Robbie Ferns on backing vocals. ABFAB is a local institution, known for their relentless live performances, often playing four to five nights a week. “Tequila Nights” was born from their desire to add a high-octane, feel-good song to their repertoire—a track
specifically crafted for their dedicated fans and the electric atmosphere of their live shows.
“We wanted to write a song that’s pure fun, something that gets everyone on their feet and ready to party,” says Lisa Mynx Hugo. “It’s a tribute to those great nights out and the amazing energy we feel with our fans.”
The song captures the essence of a Cape Town summer—full of life, spontaneity, and a whole lot of rock and roll. Its infectious rhythm and sing-along chorus are a perfect addition to any party playlist, marking it as a definite highlight for the upcoming season.
“Tequila Nights” was produced by Brad Grobler (Big Productions) and is being released by Lab Records (NL) in the Netherlands, with a simultaneous international release.
Fans can stream “Tequila Nights” on Spotify, Apple Music, and all other digital platforms
Debut Single: ‘Wake Up!’
“Wake Up” is a hard-hitting rock anthem about becoming acutely aware of your surroundings, stepping up, and truly living in the moment because, as the lyrics proclaim, you only get one life – so live it!
The song, originally penned by Lisa, draws inspiration from life’s tough knocks. It has been meticulously edited and arranged into its final form through a collaborative effort between Lisa, Sean, and their good friend, the renowned Dutch producer Brad Grobler (also known for his work with Sean in the band Shout!).
This Release marks a significant milestone for ABFAB Duo, a hard-hitting and compelling blend of raw energy and insightful lyricism.
