Singer Pamela Nothando Bhulu, best known as Nomina has released her single Destiny, featuring Nokwazi, taken from her latest album titled Angel.
Her style of music is Afro-soul, mixed with dance, Amapiano, and pop with an international appeal. Her music is highly influenced by her travels around the world.
Currently visiting South Africa and not living in Germany, the songstress credits her global music style to musicians such as Yvonne Chaka Chaka, Alicia Keys, and many other international and local stars. “My trip to South Africa is all about promotion and reconnection. It is focused on promoting my new album ‘Angel’. It is also a mix of media appearances,” she says.
“Reconnecting with my South African audience and connecting with creatives who share my vision. South Africa has always been very close to my heart, and it’s exciting to be back to celebrate this new chapter in my music journey.”
She chose to work with Nokwazi on the new single Destiny for the respect of her craftmanship. “Nokwazi is an absolute icon; her voice is pure soul and power, the kind that transcends genres. Destiny is about that magnetic pull toward your true path, waiting for those life-defining moments like love or breakthroughs.,” Nomina added.
“I needed a collaborator who could embody that raw emotion, and Nokwazi’s decades of storytelling in Afro-soul made her the dream choice. It was about honouring queens, uplifting queens; her energy on the track turned a good song into an anthem. Plus, as a South African powerhouse, she brings that authentic Mzansi flavour that ties back to my own African roots.”
She describes working with Nokwazi as magical, pure and simple. “We linked up here in SA, where I was introduced to her by a promoter, Tenny T, and the chemistry was instant. Her vocals brought such depth and emotion to “Destiny”; she is not just talented, she is a pro who elevates everything. We vibed over calls, tweaking lyrics and builds until it felt right. It was empowering, like two sisters building something unbreakable.
