“Tumela” is a standout track from the 2025 EP All I Wanted Was Love, crafted by Cyfred, Sayfar, and Optimist Music ZA, featuring a compelling vocal performance by Leandra.Vert. With a runtime of 5 minutes and 44 seconds, the track exemplifies the emotive and melodic capabilities of modern Amapiano, seamlessly blending deep house rhythms, jazz-inspired piano progressions, and percussive textures.
Cyfred, Sayfar and Sino Msolo recently appeared on Khumbule featuring Rory Diamondz.
Leandra.Vert’s contribution is central to the song’s appeal—her smooth, expressive vocals carry themes of longing, trust, and emotional vulnerability. Delivered in a tone that balances strength and sensitivity, her performance elevates the composition beyond its rhythmic foundation, infusing it with emotional resonance. The lyrical narrative aligns with the broader themes of the EP, focusing on introspection, connection, and the pursuit of love and affirmation.
The instrumentation is layered but never overwhelming, allowing each sonic element to contribute meaningfully to the overall atmosphere. Subtle piano riffs, ambient pads, and syncopated percussion blend to create a warm, immersive soundscape that supports and enhances the vocal centerpiece.
