The singer-songwriter shared that the title of her new album was largely influenced by her childhood and church values. “Ugcobo for me means having a higher sacred purpose. My very first platform where I got to perform in front of an audience was church. I thought it’s about time I reflect back to where everything began while also acknowledging where I am at this very moment. Ugcobo is a note to self that I’m no longer where I was and that now there’s a bigger purpose for me,” Nomfundo said. On her newly released single Amalobolo featuring Big Zulu, Nomfundo takes listeners back to the 80s. The singer has continued to serve us her beautiful vocals.
