“Ungigcine” by Da Mabusa, featuring Noex and DJ Kayd Boizen, is a deeply emotional and spiritually infused Amapiano ballad that captures the delicate balance between faith, love, and vulnerability. The title “Ungigcine” translates to “Keep me” or “Preserve me” in isiZulu — a heartfelt plea for protection, endurance, and emotional grounding. This theme runs throughout the track, both in its lyrical essence and its gentle, moving production.
Da Mabusa recently appeared on Vuma featuring Anzo and SoulQue.
From the opening moments, Da Mabusa sets a reflective tone. The instrumentation is layered with warm chords, subtle percussive textures, and a melancholic yet uplifting piano line that feels both intimate and cinematic. His production style leans into emotional minimalism — each note and drum pattern chosen to let the story breathe rather than overwhelm. There’s a quiet confidence in how he blends soulful harmonies with Amapiano’s deep rhythmic pulse, creating a track that resonates both on the dancefloor and in the heart.
Noex delivers a stunning vocal performance — tender, expressive, and full of spiritual emotion. Her voice becomes the emotional anchor of the song, weaving themes of hope, protection, and divine love. Through her lyrics and delivery, she captures the vulnerability of someone asking to be kept safe — not just physically, but emotionally and spiritually. Her vocals rise and fall with the instrumental’s flow, giving the track an ethereal, prayer-like quality.
DJ Kayd Boizen complements this with percussive precision and rhythmic depth. His touch gives the song its groove and heartbeat, grounding Noex’s soaring vocals in a rich, immersive rhythm. The balance between the emotive and the percussive is seamless — one never overpowers the other. Instead, they exist in harmony, amplifying the message of unity and trust embedded in the lyrics.
