Off The Record with Maleh

Loading player...
On this episode of Off The Record, we sit down with Maleh to explore her deeply spiritual and emotionally rich new album, Dithapelo.

Blending Afro-soul, Afro-pop, gospel, and Basotho influences, the project unfolds like a musical journal of prayer, healing, surrender, and renewal. From standout tracks like Baba, Bula Ditsela, and Ndivile, Maleh opens up about faith, vulnerability, purpose, and the personal experiences that shaped this chapter of her artistry.

We also unpack the sonic direction of the album, its growing impact across the continent, and why Dithapelo is resonating so powerfully with listeners searching for honesty, stillness, and spiritual connection through music.
