Multi-platinum-selling artist DaMabusa returns with a profoundly moving new single titled Ungigcine, featuring Noex and DJ Kayd Boizen.The track, set for release on 10 October 2025, is the lead single from his highly anticipated upcoming album, Ivuduvudu — a project that promises to marry rhythm and reverence in a way only DaMabusa can.
Blending the warm elements of Amapiano and 3-Step with gospel-inspired vocals, “Ungigcine” isn’t just a song — it’s a heartfelt prayer wrapped in melody. Anchored by the recurring plea, “Uzungigcine ungibusise nami ngoba ngithebele kuwe” (“Keep me and bless me because I rely on you”), the single captures a raw conversation between the soul and the divine. Through each verse and chorus, DaMabusa surrenders to faith, expressing both vulnerability and resilience in times of trial.

“‘Ungigcine’ is deeply personal,” DaMabusa shares. “It’s a song of surrender — about trusting God completely, even when life feels uncertain. The lyrics remind us that blessings come not from control, but from letting go and believing we are being kept for a reason.”
The verses — like the heartfelt “Ngyacela Baba, uzuphendule imithandazo yethu” (“Please Father, answer our prayers”) — echo the cries of many who find themselves seeking relief, hope, or healing. Yet within that yearning lies a message of persistence, embodied in DaMabusa’s powerful line, “Mina ngizobambelela kuwe, noma isimo singavumi” (“I will hold on to you, even if the situation is not favorable”).
With Noex’s soulful delivery and DJ Kayd Boizen’s meticulous production, “Ungigcine” blends emotion, groove, and spirituality into a timeless listening experience — the kind of song that doesn’t just reach your ears, but rests deeply in your heart.
Born and raised in KwaMhlanga, Mpumalanga, DaMabusa’s journey began in the church and community choirs of his hometown — spaces that nurtured his love for music and faith. His breakout hit, “Umama Owangizalayo,” became a gold-selling cultural anthem, echoing in stadiums, churches, and traditional gatherings across South Africa.
Now an award-winning and gold-certified artist, DaMabusa stands at the forefront of a new wave of spiritual Amapiano, fusing faith, culture, and modern sound. With his upcoming album, Ivuduvudu, he aims to take his message global — introducing listeners to an African spiritual sound that celebrates hope, endurance, and unity. The project features collaborations with Zuzukay (“Imali”), Sabza Womqulo, and SoulQue (“Shushuzela”), each reflecting his mission to bring purpose and depth back into popular music.
“‘Ungigcine’ is a reminder,” DaMabusa concludes. “That no matter how hard things get, faith can be our rhythm, our melody, and our peace.”
