MBABANE – Eswatini singer Nelly Noll is preparing to release two new House tracks, “Ngatisola” and “Ngithathekile”, in collaboration with South African producer Noll’zuss. While the official release date has not yet been announced, the project is already generating excitement among fans eager to hear the duo’s unique musical chemistry.
The two songs explore different stages of love and relationships. “Ngatisola” focuses on the regret and heartbreak that can follow the end of a relationship, while “Ngithathekile” tells the story of finding love again and being willing to give the heart another chance.
According to Nelly Noll, the project allowed her to explore a different creative space while remaining true to herself as an artist.
“This collaboration has allowed me to showcase different sides of my artistry and challenge myself creatively in a genre that is slightly different from what my audience may be used to hearing from me,” she said.
Although the songs lean towards House and Deep House, the artist explained that they still carry elements of her musical identity, making the project both fresh and authentic.
The collaboration began after Noll’zuss discovered Nelly Noll on TikTok and was immediately drawn to the uniqueness of her voice. After reaching out to her, he sent two beats for consideration. The singer connected with both tracks and quickly recorded vocals, leading to the creation of “Ngatisola” and “Ngithathekile”.
Noll’zuss mentioned that one of the aspects he appreciated most about the collaboration was Nelly Noll’s use of siSwati, which brought a distinctive flavour to the songs. He noted that Swati vocalists are not common within the South African music scene, making the collaboration particularly special.
Beyond creating music, the producer explained that his goal is to make songs that evoke emotion, inspire hope and help listeners heal. He believes the two tracks complement each other by telling a complete story of heartbreak, recovery and emotional growth.
“I want listeners to feel, connect and find healing through the music because both songs connect with each other. One talks about regrets of a past relationship and the other talks about finding new love and giving it another chance,” he said.
With emotional storytelling, soulful House production and the unique blend of Nelly Noll’s vocals and siSwati expression, the collaboration promises to deliver a meaningful listening experience. As fans await the official release date, “Ngatisola” and “Ngithathekile” are already shaping up to be exciting additions to the region’s growing House music catalogue.
