# IGqumelasha Announces *Ize Leze*, an Eight-Track Album Arriving in October 2026

IGqumelasha will release *Ize Leze*, an eight-track album, on 14 October 2026. The project is built around a recurring collaboration with ukhoz'olumpunga, who features on every song, while Olwethu Da Singer makes an additional appearance on “Into Ethi ayibenje.”

The tracklist gives *Ize Leze* a clear collaborative identity rather than presenting it as a solo release in the conventional sense. ukhoz'olumpunga’s presence runs from the opening song, “Ucingo,” through to the closing track, “Ogabadiya,” creating a consistent thread across the album. The additional feature from Olwethu Da Singer arrives on the second track, “Into Ethi ayibenje.”

The album’s title track, “Ize Leze,” appears fourth in the sequence, placing it at the centre of the project. Around it are tracks including “Ungumbulali kufa,” “Ungenzislima,” “Izingovolo” and “The Summer,” giving the album a varied set of song titles while maintaining its focus on the two-artist partnership.

At eight tracks, *Ize Leze* is a compact album suited to a focused listen rather than an extended, sprawling project. Its strongest identifiable feature is the repeated pairing of IGqumelasha and ukhoz'olumpunga, with Olwethu Da Singer adding a second guest voice at a key early point in the running order.

*Ize Leze* is scheduled for release in 2026 through the project’s announced date of 14 October.
