Kelvin Momo sings a soulful plea for spiritual connection in Hlala’nam, featuring Bassie and Nia Pearl’s rich vocals. The producer mixes gospel harmonies with deep house rhythms from his Sewe album. Basetsana Maluleke and Kelvin Letwaba pen lyrics about faith tested by life’s storms.
Maluleke writes urgent confessions like Prayers overwhelm me, I can’t stay silent while repeating Stay with me like a desperate prayer. Bassie and Nia Pearl turn each stay into chills as the songwriter describes life clouding my vision over Kelvin Momo’s velvety bassline.
Hayi Akuvumi MangithuleNo, it won’t let me stay silent.
Noma Seng’limele Akuvumi MangithuleEven though I’m hurt, it won’t let me stay silent.
Hayi Akuvumi MangithuleNo, I can’t just remain quiet.
Umthandazo Ung’hlulile Akuvumi MangithulePrayer has overwhelmed me; it won’t let me stay silent.
Yini Na BawoWhy is it this way, Father?
Ngizoshintsha Zonke Iy’lingo ZamI’ll change through all my trials.

Ngizokhonza Wena Baba WamI’ll worship you, my Father.
