# SPHIWO MIYA Announces *Inj'elumayo*, a New Maskandi Album Arriving in 2026

SPHIWO MIYA’s *Inj'elumayo* is a new Maskandi album scheduled for release on 10 September 2026. The eight-track project presents MIYA as its central voice while making room for two featured appearances: Londeka Shangase on “Emhlabeni nasezulwini” and Amahle Dlamini on the bonus version of “Angeke Sbuyelane”.

The album’s tracklist suggests a project built around both familiar Maskandi territory and a willingness to vary its presentation. “Ngeke sbuyelane” opens the album, while “Angeke Sbuyelane (Bonus)” returns to that title at the end with Dlamini added to the performance. That framing gives the release a clear recurring point of reference, with the bonus track offering an alternate version rather than simply another unrelated song.

At the centre of the album is its title track, “Inj'elumayo”, placed third in the sequence. The remaining titles include “Bathini kubani utshwala”, “Second chance”, “Indiza Mshini” and “Cosha”, creating a tracklist that moves between isiZulu titles and the English phrase “Second chance”. Without additional notes on the songs’ meanings or production, the tracklist does not establish a specific narrative for the album—but it does point to a compact project with a mix of standalone songs, collaborations and a closing bonus cut.

The collaborations are used selectively rather than dominating the album. Shangase appears on “Emhlabeni nasezulwini”, while Dlamini joins MIYA on the expanded version of “Angeke Sbuyelane”. That keeps *Inj'elumayo* focused on SPHIWO MIYA while adding two distinct guest contributions.

For listeners exploring contemporary Maskandi, *Inj'elumayo* is worth keeping on the radar as a concise 2026 release from an artist presenting a focused eight-song set. It arrives on 10 September 2026.
