Bongeziwe Mabandla Drops Lyric Videos for “soze” and “hlala” Remixes

After releasing the thula (Lemon & Herb Remix) lyric video just a month ago — which quickly amassed over 67,000 views — Bongeziwe Mabandla returns with a new offering that brings visual life to the heartfelt lyrics of amaXesha.

On 12 June 2025, Mabandla released not one, but two lyric videos from the amaXesha Remixes project: soze (Karyendasoul Remix) and hlala (Mpho.Wav Remix). Both videos offer a minimal yet powerful way to connect with the poetic core of Mabandla’s songwriting, now reimagined through a fresh sonic lens.

Having released hlala (Mpho.Wav Remix) as the first single from his remix project, Mabandla set out to breathe new life into the track by capturing the essence of the lyrics in a raw, uncluttered, and futuristic visual form. The lyric video strips everything back to let the words speak — a quiet homage to the song’s emotional weight, even in its transformed sonic state.

A fan favorite from the amaXesha Remixes project, soze (Karyendasoul Remix) receives the same thoughtful treatment — a stripped-back visual that puts Mabandla’s lyrical depth front and center. The video complements the remix’s emotive pulse, creating a space where words and sound drift together in sync.

This growing collection of lyric videos mirrors Mabandla’s deep devotion to lyricism — a reminder that, even in remix form, the heart of his music lies in the stories and emotions his words carry.
