Lwah Ndlunkulu and MaWhoo Unite on Powerful Afro-Pop Love Anthem “Unembeza”
Female voices, Lwah Ndlunkulu and MaWhoo, join forces on a heartfelt new Afro-Pop single titled “Unembeza”, a Zulu word meaning conscience. “Unembeza” is a love song rooted in raw emotion, where Lwah vulnerably opens about falling in love so deeply and uncontrollably that it feels unconscious, like she’s no longer in charge of her feelings. When she makes a mistake, it’s her conscience that pulls her back in line. That’s what she means when she sings, “Uthandane ngoNembeza”. On the track, MaWhoo delivers a striking verse that begins with an apology for moving too fast in love, but quickly reminds us that this is simply how she is when she’s in love. Her emotional honesty and signature tone add a new dimension to the record.

This marks the first collaboration between the two powerhouse vocalists, following individual success on high-profile Maskandi crossovers. Lwah featured on Mthandeni SK’s viral hit “Paris,” while MaWhoo’s contribution to “Gucci” with the same artist also turned heads. Combined, both songs have amassed over 30 million streams. With “Unembeza,” Lwah and MaWhoo continue to blur genre boundaries, blending soulful storytelling with rhythmic Afro-pop and subtle traditional elements. The result is a track that’s both emotionally resonant and irresistibly catchy.
