Mountain

A song centred on rising above, finding yourself and taking recreating your throne in the face of adversity. Malwande sings herself out of rubbles and everything that has made her crumble, a heartbreak, a struggle, depression, sadness, loss of a loved one, any difficult time you have or currently are battling with. Any mountain that seems impossible to conquer is nothing will seem like nothing when you get your dose of upliftment after indulging your listening senses.

Qinisela

In the course of overcoming your mountain of turmoil, Malwande reminds you to stay strong and push through with her song Qinisela featuring Mawawa MC. This Piano led, harmonic husky, message driven song serves as a prayer. A prayer from a Devine being to you, one where God tells you to stay strong. Qinisela Black child your day is coming, the success destined for you, that job, that graduation, the one partner you will marry is already in your midst it is only a matter of time.

Whatever comes

Sometimes the road to success is not as smooth as it seems to be and quite often we forget to pray. Be it to Mvelinqangi through ancestors or to God through direct pray, whichever langauge and vehicle you use to communicate to the higher force, one can say for certain that anything can happen and life does not turn out the way you expect it. Whatever comes should find you praying, that no matter the turbulence there is a good outcome in the end. A song about consoling yourself and remembering to connect to the source in good and bad times because they all take place for a reason that will make sense to you at a later point in time, when you are mature enough to understand.

A woman who has chosen to turn her grime to glory, a woman who has chosen to use her talents to Glorify God and spread the message of the faith while sending a call to the youth to connect to their essence.
