Singer-Songwriter and professional Jazz Pianist Nhlonipho who hails from Swaziland, has released his debut single ‘Ngiyatisola’ from his upcoming EP Selemo. The profound nature of this single will resonate deeply with listeners, captivating their emotions with its soulful sounds and heartfelt lyrics.
Ngiyatisola delves into the theme of regret, specifically the missed chance of approaching someone who held significant meaning in their life. Nhlonipho deeply laments not summoning the courage to request her phone number during their initial encounter. She continues to occupy his dreams and thoughts, prompting contemplation of alternate realities where he might already be married if he had bravely confessed his feelings when they initially crossed paths.

We are excited and blessed to share his music and talent with the world. We look forward to an amazing EP and for his exciting and captivating performances”
“I am very excited about this release. I’ve received so much love, especially from people back home. I can’t wait for people to hear the full project, Selemo. After years of being the man behind so many big records, I’m finally ready to give people Nhlonipho”. Nhlonipho’s upcoming EP Selemo is set to drop on October 20th.
