"This EP Is About Alignment, Power & Coming Home To Yourself" - Mbali Nkosi On 'Elements'

Multi-talented performer Mbali Nkosi is ready to take the spotlight in an entirely new way. 

Known to South African audiences as a beloved media personality, actress, and international DJ, Mbali is now unveiling her debut full-length music project titled ELEMENTS.

Crafted as a love letter to both the universe and the divine within, each track channels an elemental force. From the earthy, bass-heavy power of “Umhlaba,” to the soulful invocation of ancestors in “Moya,” Mbali invites listeners into an immersive world where sound becomes ritual.

“This EP is about alignment. About power. About coming home to yourself,” says Mbali. “Every beat is intentional—it’s my offering to spirit, to my people, and to anyone on a path of becoming.”

The project features a dynamic lineup of collaborators, including Buhlebendalo Mda, Spice Drums, Rowlene, Boskasie, Black Motion and Deepa Woshee, each lending their own magic to Mbali’s vision.

From Spanish-lyric storytelling in “Yemaya” to the fiery energy of “Moto (Deepa & Woshee Remix),” 'Elements' reflects a multidimensional creative voice unafraid to explore the metaphysical. 

It’s Afrotech, it's spiritual, it's powerful. Elements is a genre-bending body of work rooted in ancestral sound, spiritual force, and emotional storytelling. Inspired by the five African elements — earth, water, fire, air, and spirit — each track channels a specific energy, offering a sonic experience that is both deeply personal and universally resonant.

This release marks the start of a new era. Alongside the EP, Mbali is rolling out a national tour that will include intimate performances, curated DJ sets, and media activations throughout.
