“Isilingo” — meaning “Temptation” in isiZulu — is a deeply emotive and musically layered Amapiano composition, created by Sipho Magudulela and Soa Mattrix, with additional contributions from Mr Abie, Tribal Soul, and Ntsakzin. It’s a track that delves into the tension between desire and restraint, expressing both the pull of temptation and the strength of resistance.
Sipho Magudulela and Soa Mattrix recently appeared on Ulibambe featuring Nele SA.
The soundscape is warm and introspective, with Sipho Magudulela’s signature saxophone lines weaving through gentle chords, soulful pads, and rich percussive textures. Mr Abie delivers thoughtful vocals that reflect the song’s inner conflict, while the featured producers add subtle atmospheric layers that give the track spiritual weight.
“Isilingo” is ideal for listeners who appreciate Amapiano with emotional depth and storytelling power — music that speaks to real-life choices, vulnerability, and inner battles. It’s not made for hype — it’s made for feeling, reflection, and soulful honesty.
