Producer Collective MODAR Releases Second Single “Vuya Nhliziyo” & Pre-order/add For Forthcoming Debut Album “Isithebe”.
Just a month after flipping the game with Year 64, the raw, introspective link-up between Emtee and Lowfeye, MODAR returns with Vuya Nhliziyo, a track glowing with the warmth of new love.
This time, the producer collective brings together three distinct voices. The soulful weight of Aubrey Qwana, a heavyweight in the scene, the gritty honesty of Lowfeye, and the bright energy of Blue Pappi, fresh off the release of his first solo project. Together, they deliver something honest. Something that feels like both a soft landing and a clean slate.
Vuya Nhliziyo isn’t just about falling in love, it’s about the kind of love that makes sense of what came before. That love that makes the past feel worth it because it brought you here. It also marks the start of the pre-add campaign for Isithebe, MODAR’s upcoming collaborative album, dropping Wednesday, 5 November 2025. Named after the Zulu word for the wooden serving board used at communal gatherings, Isithebe holds space for shared moments, collective voice, and the beating heart of South Africa’s Afropop scene. Every artist brings their own flavour. Every song tells its own story.
As MODAR founder and A&R lead Nhlanhla “Nivo” Ndimande puts it,
“We’re calling this project Isithebe because it’s exactly that, a table. A place to serve, to collaborate, to honour one another’s work.”
Where Year 64 gave us reflection, Vuya Nhliziyo brings joy and connection. But the spirit stays the same: artists showing up with purpose. Vuya Nhliziyo OUT NOW on all streaming platforms. Isithebe lands on 5 November. Until then, MODAR is setting the table. Pull up a chair
