It’s the new year and the world always braves it with the hope of a brighter future. This is something the recently recently released track, ‘Nomakunje’ by Everton Mlalazi is fully embracing. With collaboration Nomakunje, Mlalazi is ushering in the New Year with great optimism.
The traditional chorus that makes this song what it is, is enlivened and reinterpreted, as Mlalazi enlists the help of the multi-Grammy-Award-winning all-male choral group Ladysmith Black Mambazo.
Recorded live in South Africa, ‘Nomakunje’ is a well crafted song that speaks of encouragement and resilience. It features uplifting lyrics and a soothing melody, which make the song the perfect way to kick off the new year.
Mlalazi who had three of his songs in Star FM Gospel Greats Top 50 with ‘Ndokutewera’ at number 3, is continuing on the same trajectory he ended in 2022. Mlalazi said the song was for those who were at their wits end.
It’s a song meant to encourage and give hope to those on the verge of losing hope. Move forward, don’t lose power, don’t lose focus, forward ever, and no turning back.
The past year was nothing short of eventful for the gifted praise and worshiper who also took home numerous awards.
From performing at the Harare Sinach Concert, hosting his Homecoming concert in Bulawayo to sharing the stage with the iconic Travis Greene in Zambia. A full-house South African show to cap the year along with a trip to West Africa where he again shared the stage with Sinach, at a Christmas Concert in Nigeria.
