11•11 The rebirth

# Nonny Mthiya announces *11•11 The rebirth*, a new album arriving in November 2026

Nonny Mthiya will release *11•11 The rebirth*, an 11-track album scheduled for 11 November 2026. The project’s title and release date give it a clear sense of symmetry, while the tracklist points to a relationship-centred body of work shaped by love, loss, uncertainty and the possibility of starting again.

The album opens with “Le Pain”, featuring Nomfundo Moh, before moving through songs such as “Imbali” with Mnqobi Yazo, “Bengithi ungowami” and “Ngyavuma”, featuring Blu Leo. Its titles suggest an emotional narrative: “Bengithi ungowami” translates to the feeling of believing someone was yours, while “Nhliziyo ungilahlile” turns towards a heart that has been abandoned or betrayed. Together, these songs place romantic experience at the centre of the album’s identity.

Mthunzi appears on “Ngamthanda”, while Sino Msolo contributes to “Nhliziyo ungilahlile”. Nomfundo Moh and Blu Leo reunite on “Asphinde sizame”, a collaboration whose title points towards trying again. Samukeliso Ngobese features on “Ngimkhethile”, and the album closes with its title track, “11•11”.

That closing placement makes “11•11” an important part of the project’s framing. Rather than ending with another collaboration, Mthiya brings the album back to its defining phrase, reinforcing *The rebirth* as the project’s central idea. The tracklist moves between intimate love songs and more open-ended titles such as “Let’s vibe” and “Final Act of love”, giving the album room to shift in mood while maintaining its emotional focus.

With guest appearances from Nomfundo Moh, Mnqobi Yazo, Blu Leo, Mthunzi, Sino Msolo and Samukeliso Ngobese, *11•11 The rebirth* presents Nonny Mthiya’s 2026 release as a collaborative album with a strong emphasis on vocal pairings. Its 11-song structure, symbolic date and recurring themes of love and renewal make it a project worth watching ahead of its 11 November release.
