A New Era for a Multifaceted Star
South Africa’s beloved media personality, actress, and international DJ, Mbali Nkosi, steps boldly into a new chapter with the release of her debut full-length music project, ELEMENTS. Available on all streaming platforms from Friday, 23 May 2025, ELEMENTS showcases Mbali’s evolution as a spiritual artist and sonic storyteller.
A Love Letter to the Universe and the Divine Within
More than just music, ELEMENTS is an intentional sonic ritual — a journey through ancestral energy and inner alignment.
“This EP is about alignment. About power. About coming home to yourself,”
Mbali shares.
“Every beat is intentional—it’s my offering to spirit, to my people, and to anyone on a path of becoming.”
Rooted in African Cosmology
Inspired by the five African elements — Earth, Water, Fire, Air, and Spirit — each track channels a distinct force of nature. With rich textures and spiritual depth, the EP fuses Afrotech rhythms with ancestral chants and emotive storytelling, inviting listeners to feel, reflect, and transform.
A Collaborative Creative Force
Mbali curates a powerhouse of collaborators, including:
- Buhlebendalo Mda
- Spice Drums
- Rowlene
- Boskasie
- Black Motion
- Deepa Woshee
Their collective brilliance shines in songs like “Yemaya” — a Spanish-lyric tribute to the goddess of water — and “Moto (Deepa & Woshee Remix),” which delivers a high-octane, fire-infused dancefloor experience.
Tracklist Highlights: A Journey Through the Elements
- Moya (Spirit) – Honoring ancestral wisdom and spiritual awakening.
- Dreams (Air) – Embracing the winds of change and inner freedom.
- Yemaya (Water) – A spiritual cleansing and rebirth through rhythm.
- Moto (Fire) – Passion, movement, and uncontainable energy.
- Umhlaba (Earth) – A grounding, bass-driven homage to the soil and soul.
Already a Fan Favorite
With over 1.3 million followers and electrifying DJ sets that have earned praise from the likes of METRO FM, Mbali Nkosi is no stranger to moving audiences. Her recent Afrotech set was described as “[rocking the studio with fire],” reaffirming her growing influence across music and media landscapes.
The ELEMENTS National Tour

- Intimate live performances

This rollout is not just a promotion — it’s a movement, a moment of cultural and spiritual resonance brought to life through sound.
