After months of teasing snippets and building anticipation, one of Maskandi’s brightest rising stars, Zwide, has finally delivered on the promise — unveiling his brand-new EP, Asazani Sinqunu. The project, which officially dropped this past Friday, is already stirring waves across the music scene, cementing Zwide’s place as a bold voice in contemporary Maskandi.
Known for his platinum-selling hit Wenhliziyo Yami, Zwide steps back into the spotlight with an offering that’s as emotionally raw as it is sonically rich. Asazani Sinqunu is a heartfelt exploration of love in its many shades, from the dizzying excitement of new romance on the opening track Kwanhliziyo Ngise, to the bittersweet call for freedom and selfhood in Ngizokwala, the EP’s lead single.
And if the numbers are anything to go by, Ngizokwala has struck a serious chord. In just one week, the track has sparked a TikTok frenzy, racking up over 500,000 views, a testament to both Zwide’s growing influence and his ability to craft music that resonates across platforms.
Adding to the momentum, Zwide currently graces the cover of Spotify’s Bhinca Nation playlist, a significant nod from one of the world’s leading streaming platforms and a milestone moment for any emerging artist.
More than just a collection of songs, Asazani Sinqunu is a candid, sometimes unflinching look at the realities of modern relationships, told with Zwide’s signature storytelling flair. With this project, he not only deepens his connection with his fanbase but also underscores his position as a voice of his generation in Maskandi music.
