11•11 The rebirth

Nonny Mthiya steps into 2026 with 11•11 The rebirth, an 11-track Afro Soul album arriving on 11 November. Built around a mix of solo songs and collaborations, the project places Mthiya at the centre while bringing in several recognised voices from the South African music scene.

The album opens with “Le Pain”, featuring Nomfundo Moh, before moving into “Imbali” with Mnqobi Yazo. From there, the tracklist shifts between collaborations and solo cuts, including “Bengithi ungowami”, “Final Act of love” and “Let’s vibe”. The sequencing gives the project a clear balance between Mthiya’s own credits and songs shared with other artists.

Several of the album’s collaborations return across different points in the tracklist. Blu Leo appears on “Ngyavuma” and joins Nomfundo Moh on “Asphinde sizame”, while Mthunzi features on “Ngamthanda”. Sino Msolo is credited on “Nhliziyo ungilahlile”, and Samukeliso Ngobese appears on “Ngimkhethile”. Nomfundo Moh therefore features twice, including the album’s opening track and its ninth song.

The closing stretch moves through “Asphinde sizame”, “Ngimkhethile” and the title track, “11•11”. That final song gives the album a direct connection to its name and release date, with the project arriving as a full 11-track set. Alongside the guest appearances, the tracklist also leaves room for Mthiya-led songs such as “Bengithi ungowami”, “Final Act of love” and “Let’s vibe”.

With its Afro Soul identity, wide collaboration list and carefully named closing track, 11•11 The rebirth gives listeners plenty to explore across its 11 songs. Check out Nonny Mthiya’s complete album when it arrives on 11 November 2026.
