Album: Ipasi Album by Jabulile Majola

South African singer-songwriter Jabulile Majola presents his new Ipasi Album, released on 11 September 2026 through Quiet Life Co. The project contains 11 tracks with a runtime of approximately 43 minutes, bringing Majola’s intimate songwriting, isiZulu expression and acoustic musicianship together in a deeply personal body of work. Ipasi Album explores themes of identity, faith, belonging, family, hope and personal experience through songs including “Umuzi Okhanyayo (Libo),” “Mandla,” “Hope,” “Ithole Lenyathi,” “Baba Wethu,” “S’bani Sami,” “Unikelwe” and “Ububele Bakho (Nala).”

Musically, Ipasi Album is rooted in Afro-Folk and Afro-Soul, combining acoustic songwriting with warm instrumentation, soulful vocals and poetic isiZulu lyrics. Jabulile Majola maintains an intimate and reflective atmosphere across the project, allowing his voice and storytelling to remain at the forefront. The album’s sound draws heavily on African folk traditions while introducing contemporary alternative and soul influences, creating a style that feels both culturally grounded and modern.

Collaboration is used selectively throughout Ipasi Album, keeping Jabulile Majola firmly at the centre. Thando Zide features on “Ubukho Bakhe” and returns on “Sonke (EKapa),” while Lia Butler joins Majola on “Uze Wazi.” The remaining songs are presented primarily under Majola’s name, allowing his songwriting and vocal performances to carry most of the project. With its carefully selected featured artists, expressive storytelling and strong Afro-Folk and Afro-Soul foundation, Ipasi Album offers a focused showcase of Jabulile Majola’s musical identity.
