Award-winning singer-songwriter Louise Carver is hitting the road in September 2025 with her “Crush On You” Tour, a nationwide series of performances set against some of South Africa’s most picturesque venues.
Partnering with Jeep South Africa, the tour will cover seven shows across four provinces, offering fans an intimate and heartfelt musical experience.
A Retro-Inspired Hit on the Rise
The tour follows the success of Louise Carver’s latest single, “Crush On You”, a feel-good, retro-infused track currently climbing the national radio charts. Accompanied by a vibrant, nostalgia-filled music video, the song marks a confident return for Carver after winning the 2023 SAMA for Best Adult Contemporary Album (“Dark Secrets”).
“‘Crush On You’ was inspired by that electric feeling of infatuation — the butterflies, the magnetic pull, the sense of possibility,” Louise Carver explains. “I wanted to capture that emotion in a song that felt sexy, fun, and light-hearted, with just a touch of vintage disco shimmer.”
The music video brings this vision to life with bold retro fashion, playful visuals, and even features one of only two pink Jeeps in the country, courtesy of Jeep South Africa.
“We had such fun making it. I hope the video reminds people of the magic of crushes — past, present, and those still to come,” she adds.
