About Jikelele:
Mthandazo has created his own line through the fusion of house influenced productions with inspirational afro-pop messaging lyrically. Jikelele is not an expectation of this formula. Vocally, the musician’s voice continues to explore his baritone with the vibrato reminiscent of maskandi musicians. Lyrically, the song is an ode to the grace and blessings God has given the musician, as he explains having searched all over the world for a Man who would provide for him as He has.
The production of the single is a house influenced beat. This is as the hi hats, synth bass and keys are motifs which provide the jovialness of the single. The synth keys during Mthandazo’s vocal breaks become what carries the single forward.
