Musa Yende Releases New Faith-Filled Single “Kubo Bonke”
Musa Yende Releases New Faith-Filled Single “Kubo Bonke.” South African gospel star Musa Yende has unveiled her long-awaited new single, “Kubo Bonke,” officially landing today, January 23, 2026, through Universal Music (Pty) Ltd South Africa.
Meaning “Above All” in isiZulu, the song arrives as a bold proclamation of faith that magnifies God’s grace, celebrates unity among believers, and points to the spiritual elevation found in His presence.
A two-time award winner celebrated for her emotive vocals and sincere worship approach, Musa Yende has been steadily building momentum ahead of the release. Earlier this month, fans were given a glimpse of the song via a YouTube preview that quickly set gospel timelines alight.
Her passionate delivery was matched by rich instrumentation from an impressive lineup of collaborators, including acoustic keyboardist Lebogang Morolo, co-producer and vocalist Zamokuhle Nkosi, drummer Sinikiwe Mabaso, and bassist Sipho Mabena. The response was immediate, with listeners flooding the comments section and describing the sound as both heavenly and deeply moving.
Raised in Spruitview, Musa Yende first made her mark as a backing vocalist for gospel giants such as Benjamin Dube and Dr Tumi before stepping confidently into her own spotlight. Her debut EP, Sustained By Grace, earned widespread praise and multiple accolades, positioning her as one of the most compelling voices in contemporary South African gospel. With “Kubo Bonke,” she builds on that foundation, offering an uplifting anthem perfectly suited for church services, quiet moments of devotion, and shared worship experiences.
In the days leading up to the release, Musa kept fans engaged with visually striking teasers across Instagram and TikTok. The soft blue imagery conveyed themes of grace and transcendence, while countdown posts encouraged followers to spread the word and pre-save the track. One playful reel captured the mood perfectly, joking about staying up all night for the release and racking up thousands of views as anticipation peaked. The gospel community responded with enthusiasm, already tipping the song as a future worship favourite.
Now officially out on all major streaming platforms, “Kubo Bonke” adds another meaningful chapter to Musa Yende’s growing catalogue. As the local gospel scene continues to flourish, the single stands as a timely reminder that no matter the season, God remains above all.
