South African multi-award-winning artist Kingdmusic is set to release his highly anticipated fifth studio album, JOY, on 30 January 2026. Inspired by Nehemiah 8:10, “the joy of the Lord is your strength,” the album is a heartfelt expression of faith, resilience, and the choice to live with joy through every season of life.
JOY reflects Kingdmusic’s personal journey and growth, blending contemporary Christian pop, R&B, gospel, and worship. The album is both uplifting and reflective, offering music that connects with everyday faith while remaining accessible to a global audience.
“Life can be tough, but this album is a reminder that God is present in the middle of it all. Songs like Always On Time encourage listeners to find joy in the waiting, trusting that God’s timing is perfect. At its core, this album points us back to gratitude. Even in uncertain moments, there is always something to be thankful for. JOY invites listeners to pause, reflect, and choose gratitude again,” says Kingdmusic.
The project features a strong mix of international and local collaborators, including Brazilian worship leader Luma Elpidio, ONE HOUSE alongside Isaiah Roberts from the USA, and rising South African artist Megan Rose. These collaborations bring depth and diversity to the album’s sound, reinforcing its message of hope, unity, and shared faith.
With standout tracks such as Hallelujah, Always On Time, and Welcome Home, JOY invites listeners into moments of praise, gratitude, and intimacy with God. The album balances bold declarations of faith with quieter, reflective moments, making it suitable for both personal listening and communal worship.
One of the most moving tracks on the album, Jerusalem, is a reimagining of a classic South African hymn that reflects on life, death, and the promise of eternity with Christ in the New Jerusalem. Kingdmusic was inspired to write the song while attending the funeral of a close friend’s father, giving the track a deeply personal and emotional foundation.
Track list:
The album is accompanied by strong visual content, with four music videos already available and two more, for Hallelujah and Always On Time, set to release shortly after the album launch. Kingdmusic is also set to go on tour for JOY album starting in Johannesburg on the 7th of March. Tickets are live now: https://www.webtickets.co.za/v2/event.aspx?itemid=1583530746
