Multi-talented performer Mbali Nkosi is ready to take the spotlight in an entirely new way. Known to South African audiences as a beloved media personality, actress, and international DJ, Mbali is now unveiling her debut full-length music project titled ELEMENTS — available on all streaming platforms from Friday, 23 May 2025.
Crafted as a love letter to both the universe and the divine within, each track channels
an elemental force. From the earthy, bass-heavy power of “Umhlaba,” to the soulful
invocation of ancestors in “Moya,” Mbali invites listeners into an immersive world where
sound becomes ritual.
“This EP is about alignment. About power. About coming home to yourself,”
says Mbali.
“Every beat is intentional—it’s my offering to spirit, to my people, and to anyone on a path of
becoming.”
The project features a dynamic lineup of collaborators including Buhlebendalo Mda, Spice
Drums, Rowlene, Boskasie, Black Motion and Deepa Woshee, each lending their own magic to
Mbali’s vision. From Spanish-lyric storytelling in “Yemaya” to the fiery energy of “Moto (Deepa &
Woshee Remix),” Elements reflects a multidimensional creative voice unafraid to explore the
metaphysical.
It’s Afrotech, its Spiritual, its Powerful, Elements is a genre-bending body of work rooted in
ancestral sound, spiritual force, and emotional storytelling. Inspired by the five African
elements — earth, water, fire, air, and spirit — each track channels a specific energy, offering
a sonic experience that is both deeply personal and universally resonant.
Already known for her electrifying DJ sets, Mbali has earned love from fans and tastemakers
alike. A radio station recently praised her for “[rocking the studio with a fire Afrotech set],” and her
dynamic presence continues to grow, with over 1.3 million followers across platforms.
This release marks the start of a new era. Alongside the EP, Mbali is rolling out a national tour
that will include intimate performances, curated DJ sets, and media activations throughout
South Africa.
