Ten years into his music career, Intaba Yase Dubai has released his new album titled 'Aphile'. This release marks a significant moment after his composition 'Angimbonge Umdali' surpassed one million streams.
The musician from KwaZulu-Natal shared that reaching one million streams with the track 'Angimbonge Umdali' was a special moment for him, as he previously doubted his musical talent. He noted that this success reignited his passion for music while celebrating a decade in the industry.
For the artist, the album 'Aphile' represents more than just another release; it is a deeply personal expression of gratitude to his family and the entire journey that led him to this point. The album's title was chosen in honor of his firstborn, his son Aphile, to pay tribute to him and show how important he is to the performer.
He debuted ten years ago, in 2016. He described the new album as a token of appreciation to everyone who supported him throughout his career, calling it a 'gift to listeners.' The central track of the album remains 'Angimbonge Umdali,' which, according to the musician, appeared spontaneously at the right time in his life.
He explained that the song came naturally, without effort, and was inspired by an inner voice urging him to sing. The artist believes that the message of this song resonates with listeners due to its sincerity and hope, calling it his best composition that is easily relatable, even if the listener has not experienced a similar situation.
Although fans often assume his music reflects his personal experiences, Intaba Yase Dubai prefers to write about universal human emotions rather than his private life, stating that he always shares experiences.
The album also introduces the audience to the rising artist B.O., whose development is overseen by 3 Point 7 Entertainment. The production process was handled by long-time partner DeeR, who continues the creative collaboration that has shaped the artist's sound over many years. His journey began humbly in the rural area of Maphumulo and achieved significant streaming success through perseverance.
