SPONCH MAKHEKHE CONFIRMS THE DYNAMICS OF LOVE THROUGH HIS NEW SONG ‘ISTHEMBU’
Love is a beautiful thing! Regardless of its complexities no one can deny themselves of it. But what happens when this esteemed feeling can exceed the boundaries of just being between two people? Through history individuals that have encompassed such love, especially in a marital status, have been labelled to be in a polygamist or polyandry relationship. Now, is it a folklore tale or something that can genuinely be felt and done in this present life? The new song by Sponch Makhekhe featuring BosPianii, ‘Isthembu’, lays out the intricacies of a man who finds himself in such a state.
‘Isthembu’ is a private school Amapiano song suitable for any beautiful auspicious occasion. BosPainii never decline themselves to rise to the occasion as they have produced a melodic composition in the instrumentation of this song. As if that is not enough, Sponch Makhekhe’s soothing vocals are laid up against some guitar strings that fit in perfectly as a featured instrument to the song.
Sung in Zulu, Sponch Makhekhe gushes out his heart to the two women that he is in love with and pleads to them that may it be okay for them to build together a home enfolded with warmth. He further laments on the confusion he has in deciding on who to give himself to as it is hard for his heart to choose between the two. He asks for the three of them to form a union of love together as he loves them equally.
The message of this song resonates with a lot of people in life, it is a universal theme that most people are scared to acknowledge.
