The Truth

It has been a whirlwind of a year in music and I will always cherish and remember you because this is where it all started. The benefits of blogging far superseded anything that I could ever have imagined!

My first single, “The Truth”, is out on all platforms!!! CLICK on the link below to hear it! The song is about how I did not want to take responsibility for my own decisions so I filled up my life with people and things that literally muffled my senses. “The Truth”, lyrically speaking, is me having a date with myself, waiting for someone to show up to save me from my miserable life. But nobody is coming to save me. Because it is me that has to show up.

This life is not a dress rehearsal. No, no. So I urge you to have mercy on yourself and forgive yourself. Start there. There is nothing inside of you that is too dark and too ugly for you to face. And should you need a helping hand to do so, surrender to that. Also, talking with a professional might be the key to unlock the blockage. Take a leap of faith! You see, we were never meant to be here to do this alone.

I am forever grateful for you. Your presence and support means the world to me. Happy holidays!!! 🌺🌺🌺 May 2020 be your year of good health, love and good fortune!!!

BIO

Nomzi Kumalo is a singer, songwriter, poet and painter who found salvation in seeking her truth. Nomzi’s music is a cinematic tale that migrates from her South African childhood, through France, and beyond the frozen wilds of Scandinavia. Her journey from painter to writer to songwriter and singer is part of a natural progression that has defined and enhanced her storytelling in immeasurable ways.

Nomzi embodies vintage class and unveiled emotion in her music. When you envisage Billie Holiday, Nina Simone or Edith Piaf adorning the stage, undoubtedly Nomzi Kumalo is enveloped by their spirits and her vocal dynamics reverberate with the same emotional resonance. Her vocal characteristics draw from the past with beguiling intimacy. In a time when everything feels like it moves so fast, the slower delivery, rhythm and harmonies have an immediate calming and soul-stirring effect on her audiences.

This is one of those moments one hopes to experience on The Voice, where someone just does their own thing and makes time stand still. Everyone forgets that they are on The Voice. It was magical – Espen Lind – The Voice judge and artist
 
God, love this track THE TRUTH – Dikayl Rimmasch, VMA/MTV Best Director, Peabody, Cinema Eye Honors
