South African singer-songwriter Sipho Magudulela returns with “Maria”, a fresh cut lifted from his brand new seven track collection. The song arrives as the opening number on “My Thoughts In Song III”, the body of work carrying his latest material. It runs on heartfelt lyricism and lovely melodies, the same signature style running through his growing catalog.
What lifts “Maria” is the company he keeps. Cj Keys & The Bless, Tshepo Tsotetsi and Tumi Musiq all lend vocals here, so the record carries extra weight. Each voice adds richness and depth, while the guests never crowd the host. The blend gives the tune a fuller texture than a solo outing would.
Because the collection holds seven tracks, this is only the entry point. But Sipho Magudulela sets the tone early with “Maria”, and the guest list shows he is happy to share the moment. So the record works as both a single and a welcome mat.
