Josiah De Disciple’s uThando no Moya is a deeply spiritual and soul-driven Amapiano endeavour that combines heartfelt narrative with meditative beats. Josiah conveys the essence of love (uThando) and spirit (uMoya) through eight meticulously crafted songs, employing music to link emotion, contemplation, and community. The project lasts almost an hour but feels extensive, taking the listener through periods of warmth, vulnerability, and healing.

Josiah De Disciple and DJ Nelcee recently featured on Makhelwane alongside Zanes.

What characterises this album is its emotional sincerity. Josiah’s production style is characterised by a subtle yet powerful approach, incorporating warm piano chords, rolling log drums and gentle percussion to craft immersive soundscapes that complement the vocals without overpowering them, as seen in songs like Impilo, Hlala Nami, and Makhelwane. The interplay between instrumental complexity and lyrical simplicity creates a sense of both closeness and universality in the music.

Throughout the project, vocals are of central importance, featuring contributions from artists such as Amahle, Leandra.Vert, Ciniso, Khanya De Vocalist, Zanes, Zee_nhle, Zar Keys, and several others. Every guest brings a distinct emotional dimension — ranging from gentle harmonies to powerful declarations — thereby transforming the project into a collaborative representation of mutual narratives and sentiments. These features lend the album its richness, transforming it from a singular voice to a collective spirit conveyed through music.
