“Ikhanda” by Josiah De Disciple and Musical Xpress, featuring Bloette, is one of the standout songs from the uThando no Moya EP. Running for just under six minutes, the track blends rich, atmospheric Amapiano production with heartfelt vocals to create a soundscape that is both reflective and emotionally stirring.
Josiah De Disciple and Dj Nelcee recently appeared on Kuphelile featuring Leandra.Vert.
The production sets the tone with deep, rolling log drums, layered percussions, and airy melodic elements that unfold gradually. Rather than chasing intensity or sudden drops, the song takes its time, building a steady groove that feels immersive and soulful. This measured pacing creates space for listeners to sink into the rhythm, making the music feel both expansive and intimate at the same time.
At the heart of the track is Bloette’s vocal performance, which is both delicate and commanding. Her delivery carries vulnerability and strength in equal measure, weaving emotion into every line she sings. Her voice becomes the emotional anchor of the track, elevating it from a groove-driven record to a deeply expressive piece of storytelling.
Josiah De Disciple and Musical Xpress shape the instrumental around her voice with care. The production is intentionally restrained, leaving room for her vocals to shine while still maintaining the hypnotic qualities of Amapiano. The combination results in a track that feels full of life without being overcomplicated — a balance of rhythm, melody, and emotion.
“Ikhanda” captures the essence of what makes uThando no Moya so powerful: it’s more than just music for the dancefloor, it’s music that speaks to the spirit. With its themes of reflection, grounding, and emotional depth, the song embodies Josiah’s approach of using Amapiano as a vessel for healing and connection.
