South African afro-pop outfit Freshlyground return with the visuals for "Don't Leave Me," their first new song in almost three years. The uplifting single follows "a story of togetherness, unity and human nature...with a big sing-along chorus!," lead vocalist Zolani Mahola explains. "It's an exciting time for us — we've been working hard on new material and have several songs in the pipeline for this year. 'Don't Leave Me' is the first of the new tracks and was written in between international tours and having babies." Watch the Benitha Vlok and Michael Matthews-directed music video for "Don't Leave Me" below, the single is available now on iTunes.
