South African singer SMUNCUMUNCU keeps the momentum rolling as he unveils “Thandaza” from his upcoming six-track EP Ndizekanye nkosi (2026).
“Thandaza” is the second song on the project, following the opening cut “Banoyolo.” The release lands on 2026-06-10, while the EP runs six songs across 22 minutes in total.
The track carries the Afrobeat tag, but the vocal is the real centre of gravity here. SMUNCUMUNCU leans into restraint instead of volume. He lets phrases tail off, then returns with weight on the next line.
That choice suits the song’s position on Ndizekanye nkosi. As track two, “Thandaza” links the opening number to the midpoint of the record. It sets the tone early, then hands the listener deeper into the project.
SMUNCUMUNCU has kept his profile active on the socials too. He recently refreshed his profile picture and teased the EP rollout with fans. Demand around the project is building steadily.
