The 4th track of the 12 track project Awulith’ qheke, Wanqabelani ukuzala by Umfoka Msezane is a strong entry. This track, released in 2026, is deliberately placed in the arc of the album, providing the listener with a specific point in the narrative of the broader project.
The South African musician has a project-first mentality in terms of approaching the soundscape, ensuring that each track, including Wanqabelani ukuzala, adds something meaningful to the overall character of the album. The placement of track four indicates a prominent part in the development of the Awulith’ qheke tale.
The whole project is comprised of 12 tracks, and Msezane’s approach is one of cohesiveness over the grab of individual singles, creating a thoughtful journey. The 2026 release sees the musician continue to provide well-thought-out, album-driven work to South Africa’s flourishing music landscape.
