South Africa’s platinum-selling songstress Cici is back — stronger, bolder, and more unapologetic than ever.
Her highly anticipated new album, Busisiwe 2.0, drops on 29 July 2025 across all major streaming platforms, and it’s already shaping up to be one of the most emotionally resonant releases of the year.
A deeply personal evolution of her artistry, Busisiwe 2.0 blends Afropop, Amapiano, Gospel, and Afrobeats into a spiritually charged 14-track offering. It’s an album of healing and power, wrapped in soulful melodies and high-energy rhythms.
“This album is a return to self — a prayer, a breath, and a celebration of who I am,” says Cici, reflecting on a journey that weaves together themes of love, faith, and personal liberation.
From the explosive opener Konakele featuring rising talent Naledi Aphiwe, to the smooth, romantic Falling For You featuring Boypee and Hyce, the album explores multiple soundscapes and emotional registers. Each track feels intentional, offering listeners a space to connect, dance, and reflect.
Building on the massive success of her chart-topper Amen, Cici expands her reach across the continent with powerful collaborations from Boypee, Praiz, Mimi Marz, Mthunzi, Zuko, and promising newcomer Kite.
These pan-African features elevate the album’s sonic diversity and give it a truly global feel.
But beyond the beats and vocal mastery, Busisiwe 2.0 is a statement of resilience, grace, and the power of returning to your roots. In every lyric and harmony, Cici reaffirms her position as one of South Africa’s most powerful and versatile voices: authentic, fearless, and unmistakably real.
