Mduduzi Ncube Returns to his Roots with ‘Buyela Ekhaya’ – Award-winning Afro-soul sensation Mduduzi Ncube is set to captivate listeners once again with his deeply personal new album, Buyela ekhaya. The 14-track project marks a powerful homecoming, both musically and spiritually, for the celebrated artist, blending soul-stirring melodies with introspective lyrics that speak to love, loss, healing, and heritage.
The album’s lead single, “Imizwa Nje,” is already resonating with fans for its raw emotional depth and smooth, heartfelt delivery. A tender reflection on navigating complex feelings, the song sets the tone for an album that invites listeners into Ncube’s most authentic self yet.
“Buyela ekhaya means ‘return home’—and that’s exactly what this album represents for me. It’s a return to my sound, my stories, and the feelings that shaped me. After years of growth and change, I felt it was time to create something that reconnects with where I come from, while still speaking to where we all are today. This album features collaborations with artists who understand that journey, and songs like ‘Imizwa Nje’ capture those unspoken emotions we all carry. Now felt like the right moment to share this, especially when so many of us are searching for connection and meaning.” ~ Mduduzi Ncube
Buyela ekhaya features a blend of soulful ballads, mid-tempo grooves, and rhythmic Afro-pop, showcasing Ncube’s vocal versatility and lyrical sincerity. The project includes collaborations with select guest artists, adding rich layers to an already compelling narrative.
