Soa Mattrix is gearing up to close the year on a high note with the announcement of his upcoming single “Umhlaba,” a collaboration with the soulful Russel Zuma and the renowned Sipho Magudulela. Known for crafting emotionally rich Amapiano records, Soa Mattrix continues to solidify his influence in the genre, and this new release promises to be yet another standout moment in his musical journey.
The producer took to Instagram to share the news with fans, revealing both the track’s title and its release date.
He wrote, “UMHLABA — 12・12・25. My last single of the year before we step into a new chapter. @russellzumaofficial • @sipho_magudulela.”
The announcement has sparked excitement across social media, with fans eager to hear what the trio has been crafting behind the scenes.
Soa Mattrix, affectionately known by his supporters as Sis Nattrix, has built a strong reputation for delivering music that touches the soul. His ability to blend deep, atmospheric production with heartfelt vocal performances has set him apart as one of Amapiano’s most emotionally resonant creators. With hits such as “Uthando,” “Mina Nawe,” and “Buyisa,” he has consistently demonstrated a gift for crafting songs that connect deeply with audiences.
Pairing with Russel Zuma and Sipho Magudulela is a recipe for magic. Russel Zuma, known for his smooth and soothing voice, has become a favourite in the modern Amapiano and Afro-soul space.

Sipho Magudulela, on the other hand, is widely respected for his instrumental mastery and his ability to inject rich, soulful textures into Amapiano productions. Together, the three artists create a powerhouse combination that promises a beautifully layered sound.
The title “Umhlaba,” which translates to “The Earth,” hints at a song with deep meaning and strong emotional themes. Fans can likely expect a reflective, powerful record — one that blends Soa Mattrix’s cinematic production, Russel Zuma’s compelling vocals, and Sipho Magudulela’s signature musical depth.
As the final release from Soa Mattrix before stepping into what he calls “a new chapter,” this single carries significant weight. It’s a moment of transition, growth, and artistic evolution for the producer.
With anticipation building, fans are encouraged to mark their calendars and prepare for a musical experience that is sure to resonate. “Umhlaba” drops on 12 December 2025 — and it promises to be pure magic.
