Njelic links up with Sam Deep and De Mthuda on “Confidence,” a seven-minute Amapiano record that puts self-love at the centre without losing the dance floor.
It arrived in late October through Garage FM Studioz, and it runs long enough for the groove to settle before Njelic even opens his mouth .
The message is plain. Njelic sings about loving himself, calling himself his own shining star, and the affirmation lands because he never oversells it . The production from Sam Deep and De Mthuda builds around rolling percussion and deep bass, giving the vocals room to breathe without turning the track into a lecture . It plays like a cross between a wedding jam and a pre-party warm-up, which is a harder balance to strike than it sounds .
The collaboration carries history. Njelic and De Mthuda first broke through together on “Shesha Geza” back in 2019, a record that earned gold certification and a Record of the Year nomination . Sam Deep and Njelic have also worked together before, on “Isgubhu” and “Rapela,” so this trio is not starting from scratch . That familiarity shows in how naturally the vocals sit inside the production.
For Njelic, this follows a busy year that included “Ungangishiyi” and “Zola Badu” . “Confidence” adds another entry to a catalog that keeps the Amapiano foundations intact while pushing the message forward.
Give “Confidence” a spin and let me know whether this self-love anthem earns a spot in your festive rotation.
