Xigubu

Musa Keys returns with *Xigubu*, an eight-track album released on 12 December 2025. Built around a series of vocal collaborations, the project places the South African artist’s name at the centre of a compact dance release featuring Konke, Njelic, Tribesoul, Aymos, Nana Atta, Dominiique, Skillz, TICOZET and Drega.

The album opens with “Bengi Bonusile”, a collaboration with Konke and Njelic, before moving through a tracklist that keeps its focus on collaborative performance. “Awuna Mahloni” brings together Tribesoul and Aymos, while “Dali” features Nana Atta and “Nomathemba” features Dominiique. Later tracks include “Ngisize” with Skillz, Konke and TICOZET, “Akana Future” with Drega, “Amandla” with Konke, and “uYajola” with TICOZET and Konke.

That recurring presence of Konke—who appears on three tracks—gives the album one of its clearest connective threads. TICOZET also returns across the project, appearing on “Ngisize” and “uYajola”. Rather than presenting a long, sprawling tracklist, *Xigubu* keeps its statement focused: eight dance songs, each shaped by a different combination of voices.

The album’s appeal is therefore in its concise format and its range of featured artists. Listeners looking for a new Musa Keys project can expect a collaboration-led dance release, with the tracklist offering several points of entry—from the Njelic and Konke pairing on the opener to the closing combination of TICOZET and Konke on “uYajola”.

With *Xigubu*, Musa Keys delivers an album that is easy to approach and built for listeners who value rhythm, vocal interplay and a strong ensemble presence.
