South African dancer-turned-artist Thee Buhle just dropped a new one, and it’s giving pure summer energy. Between the star-studded feature list and the message behind the record, this release feels like another confident step in her growing music journey.
If you’ve been following her since her dance content days, this one is worth your full attention. Here’s everything you need to know about the new single.
Thee Buhle Drops New Single Khuluma
South African DJ, dancer, and content creator Thee Buhle officially released her new single “Khuluma” on September 4, 2026.
The track brings together Cuebur, Ben September, JayJayy, and DJ Arabic, creating a lineup packed with South African dance and electronic talent. Ahead of the release, Thee Buhle teased the cover art on Instagram.
On Instagram, she described the release as part of her “summer mandate,” focused on reaching a flow state and ignoring outside noise. This mindset comes through clearly in the record’s energy.
Furthermore, “Khuluma” follows her earlier 2026 release, “Maqondana,” which featured DJ Arabic and Sipho Magudulela, continuing a string of collaborative projects this year.
Thee Buhle’s Growing Music Journey And What’s Next
Known as the “chipi ya peketle peketle” and “majaivane queen,” Thee Buhle first built her following through energetic dance content before expanding into music.
She has spoken about creating more authentically these days, moving away from outside expectations about how she should sound. In addition, her connection to faith, African spirituality, and her elders continues to shape her direction.
With “Khuluma” now streaming everywhere, Thee Buhle is laying groundwork for an upcoming album expected later this year. Her growing collaborator list, spanning Amapiano and dance music, suggests the album will pull from multiple corners of South Africa’s music scene.
