According to a statement, the poignant lead single, “Nomalanga”, is a compelling narrative that delves into the complexities of love and betrayal.
“Set against a backdrop of haunting melodies and emotive lyrics, the song explores the intricacies of a love triangle, where the protagonist finds himself entangled in a relationship fraught with deception and disillusionment.
