“Somandla” is the most spiritually charged of the three, a song that sits at the intersection of deep house and gospel inspiration. Here, Chymamusique collaborates with Artwork Sounds and Fatso 98, bringing in the commanding vocals of Ze2 to lead the track.
The title itself, meaning “The Almighty” in isiZulu, sets the tone for a track that is both worshipful and uplifting. The instrumental arrangement leans heavily on soulful chords and reverberating pads, anchored by a steady deep house groove that provides forward momentum without ever distracting from the message. Piano flourishes and subtle atmospheric effects give the production a majestic, almost cathedral-like resonance.
Chymamusique, Adhesive Twins and Goba recently appeared on Ndenziwa Nguwe featuring Brandon Dhludhlu.
Ze2’s vocal performance is raw, passionate, and unflinchingly powerful. She sings with conviction, channeling themes of faith, resilience, and the sustaining power of spirituality. Her delivery transforms the track into something bigger than music — it becomes an anthem of empowerment and healing, one that resonates with both dancefloors and personal moments of prayer or introspection.
What makes “Somandla” stand out is how it bridges sacred themes with secular rhythms. It carries the emotional intensity of gospel music but places it within a deep house framework, allowing it to reach wider audiences while maintaining its authenticity. It is not just a song to dance to, but one to feel deeply, making it both a spiritual journey and a sonic statement.
