Rising singer, songwriter, and medical doctor, Smama, is starting 2025 on a deeply personal note with the release of his latest single, ‘Ndenzel’Umama.’ The heartfelt track,which dropped on January 31, is a tribute to his mother, Thembeka, whose resilience and dedication shaped his life.
The song serves as an emotional ode to his mother, who single-handedly raised Smama and his two siblings. The lyrics delve into her sacrifices, unwavering strength, and the lessons she instilled in them. For Smama, this song is more than just music—it’s a testament to a mother’s love and perseverance.
“I wanted to honor my mother’s strength, resilience, and selflessness,”
Smama shares.
“She is my hero, and I aspire to be like her – to survive and thrive regardless of the challenges life throws our way.”
Beyond his musical talent, Smama brings a unique perspective as a medical doctor. He views music as another form of healing, akin to his work in medicine.
“One thing that music and medicine have in common is healing. With music, I reach parts of the human soul that I can’t as a doctor. And I believe this song will do just that.”
‘Ndenzel’Umama’ beautifully blends Afro-soul, gospel, and adult contemporary influences, showcasing Smama’s signature vocal prowess and a stirring chorus that is bound to resonate with listeners. The single also marks the first release from his upcoming album, which is slated to drop later this year.
With this latest offering, Smama continues to cement his place in the music industry, using his artistry to tell powerful stories that connect deeply with audiences. ‘Ndenzel’Umama’ is more than just a song—it’s a celebration of love, sacrifice, and the unbreakable bond between a mother and her child.
