Yumbs Announces Release Date for New Upcoming ‘Imbewu’ EP

South African producer and artist Yumbs has officially announced the release date for his upcoming project, Imbewu, set to drop on November 7, 2025. The announcement arrives after weeks of growing anticipation from fans online, sparked by the viral teaser of his collaboration with Simmy on the single We Try, which forms part of the EP.

With Imbewu, Yumbs seems ready to open a new chapter in his musical journey with one that carries a deeper message of growth and reflection. The title itself, meaning seed in isiZulu, captures the spirit of planting something meaningful and watching it flourish. It’s a concept that has already resonated with his followers, who’ve watched him evolve from a fresh name in production to one of the country’s most influential sound architects.

The 10-track project will see Yumbs explore a range of emotions through layered rhythms and soulful compositions, creating a body of work that connects both spiritually and musically. In announcing the EP, Yumbs shared a heartfelt message with his followers, “Imbewu, meaning The Seed, marks the start of something personal. Planted with intention, grown through time. Every lyric, sound, and silence carries meaning. I hope you not only hear my story but feel your own in it too.” Yumbs had shared on his Instagram post.

Fans, who have been eagerly waiting for We Try since snippets of it circulated across TikTok, were quick to celebrate the news that the song would be released alongside the EP. The teaser clip featuring Simmy’s unmistakable vocals sparked thousands of recreations and remixes, turning the track into one of the most anticipated collaborations of the year.

Yumbs’ ability to connect with listeners through feeling rather than formula continues to set him apart. His partnership with Simmy on Imbewu promises to deliver that same sense of emotion and depth that has defined both artists’ best work. The synergy between Yumbs’ production and Simmy’s emotive voice is expected to be one of the defining sounds of this release.

As Imbewu prepares to take root on November 7, the excitement surrounding it keeps spreading, much like the meaning behind its name. For Yumbs, this project is more than a musical release; it’s a reflection of patience, faith, and artistic maturity. And for his growing fanbase, it’s a promise that what’s been planted is finally ready to bloom.
