Sister duo SAI HLE has returned with their long-awaited single “UBUMNND,” released on October 17, 2025. Made up of blood sisters Amahle Koom and Siphosethu Koom, the release marks their first under a new partnership with the forward-thinking artist services company Platoon—signifying an exciting new chapter in their musical journey.
A feel-good anthem rooted in joy and connection, “UBUMNND” encourages listeners to shed negativity and embrace pure happiness. The track effortlessly blends the sisters’ soulful harmonies with rhythmic grooves and vibrant production, channeling the spirit of South African dance culture. Seamlessly weaving Xhosa, Zulu, and English lyrics, the song radiates warmth and unity—making it the perfect soundtrack for celebration and togetherness.
Speaking about the inspiration behind the song, SAI HLE shared: “‘UBUMNND’ is a piece of our heart. It’s about that incredible feeling of freedom and joy you get when you’re surrounded by people you love. We wanted to create something that brings everyone together to celebrate the now. It’s a reflection of our bond as sisters and our hope to spread unity and happiness through our music.”
The single’s release also marks a historic milestone for the duo, who recently became Platoon’s first Amapiano & Dance sister duo, reinforcing their vision to take South African sounds to global audiences.
With momentum already building, SAI HLE’s next move is set to amplify its rising profile. The sisters are gearing up for a feature on “Koyika,” an upcoming collaboration with the legendary Sun-El Musician, which he has begun teasing on social media and during live festival sets. They’re also set to join hip-hop icon Khuli Chana for a series of pop-up performances and tours—alongside a new single in the works together.
As they continue to collaborate with leading names across Amapiano and Afro Dance, SAI HLE is carving out their place as one of the most promising acts shaping South Africa’s next wave of global music exports
