meet me at the altar
Following a string of successful singles, the Grammy-award winning South African singer and songwriter Una Rams has opened his heart like never before, with the release of his debut album ‘meet me at the altar’. A powerful, personal, and poetic body of work that captures the delicacy of marriage, stepping into manhood, and choosing love in every direction. Previously collaborating with renowned DJ Black Coffee as well as Idris Elba, Una Rams has become a force to be reckoned with.
What started out as a simple wedding playlist for the big day, swiftly became a full-fledged project that infuses Afro-fusion, soul, R&B, and the textures of Una’s Venda heritage into one seamless body of work. After all, what better way to celebrate your wedding than to create your own album? Harnessed with great meaning, ‘meet me at the altar’ captures the celebration of love in all its glory. Continuing to seed themes of love, joy, and cultural pride, this project is wrapped in South African sounds; a nod to traditions and heritage. .
Speaking on the album Una Rams commented, ““I wanted to distill tradition into sound. To make a kind of sonic museum—something that reminds and teaches at the same time. This album isn’t just for now. I hope it becomes the soundtrack to people’s love lives for years to come.”
“This is the first time I’ve been able to write about my life in real time,” Una shares. “Instead of reflecting on the past, I wanted to honour what was happening as it happened. This is an album dedicated to my now-wife, but it’s also a celebration of tradition, family, and faith. I want these songs to live on—not just for us, but for generations.”
