Ndiyakholwa, a collaborative effort between Inga Hina, Jcross Unlimited, and Ceekeys, is a deeply soulful and spiritually resonant track that draws on the rich tradition of South African gospel and Afro-soul. The title, Ndiyakholwa, which translates to “I believe” in Xhosa, sets the tone for a song that is both a declaration of faith and a reflection of inner strength. The collaboration beautifully merges heartfelt vocals with a moving instrumental arrangement, creating a piece that uplifts and inspires.
From the opening notes, the track envelops the listener in a warm and contemplative atmosphere. Inga Hina and Jcross Unlimited establish a smooth, melodic foundation, with soft, layered piano chords and gentle percussive elements that immediately set a reflective mood. Ceekeys, known for his ability to bring a sense of depth and soulfulness to any track, adds a unique dimension with his skillful arrangement and production touches.
The song’s slow build allows each instrument to shine in its own right, from the warm, rolling basslines to the crisp percussive beats that give the track a sense of movement without overwhelming its reflective nature. The inclusion of traditional gospel harmonies adds an extra layer of depth, evoking the emotional weight of the lyrics while keeping the arrangement minimal and refined.
