Therese Owen (Star Tonight): 'The Biggest Thing To Come Out Of SA'
The New Age: 5 Star album review
Munyaradzi Vomo (The Star Tonight): 'SA has just witnessed the birth of a phenomenal group'
YFM: 'These boys are going global very soon!'
Soon, the question on everybody's lips will be: "Have You Heard? Have you heard how The Muffinz rule the world?". The Muffinz have unleashed their mysteriously beautiful world of eclectic soul to the South African public and they are set for world domination.
The music of The Muffinz is so new, yet so soulful, so accessible, so honest and so innocent, that it appeals to all age groups, races, classes and sexes.
The five young musicians make a refreshing change from the usual run of the mill rappers and house DJs, who are currently dominating the popular music scene, in that they play real instruments, and they play them well. Added to that is all five musicians are great singers in their different genres of expertise.
Take for instance electric guitarist and vocalist, Atomza. His voice is best described as a young Michael Jackson meets Usher with a twist of rock. Drummer Keke then enters with his Senegalese meets rumba vocals. The band switch from a groovy R&B rhythm led by acoustic guitarist Mthae and bassist Skabz, to a classy jazz guitar sound introduced by electric guitarist and acapella singer, Simz. And that by the way is just on one song!
That is why, to explain the band, they decided to call themselves The Muffinz. Explains Mthae: "We wanted a name that would be remembered, something catchy but a name that people would want to find out more about. Plus, we all come from different backgrounds musically and so we all bring different ingredients - as in the ingredients in a muffin."

If you wil be here 2050 know thats there was a group Called The Muffinz, South African group of singers with good melodies. Hit like for it
Another song that brings happy memories. I remember it playing on SABC 2 just after Dragonballs Z. It stills give me goosebumps.
Or before DragonballZ 😂
Exactly 😂
That's where I fell in love with it
Yeyi i remember too😄
😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭🙏
The fact that this was not a song but they were just doing some sound checks then this master piece came out this right here is talent.
The lead singer is also not aware wat he is saying, you see... wen he sings, he sings in a foreign language that is not known, its non existent (and its not tounges) but it carries very deep emotions. I loooove it, it so unique, this guy is somethn else
This song makes me cry .. Like if you still listening this song in 2020
2021
2024
2024
I'm still here in June 2024❤
2024 and we are listening
I get so emotional listening to this, it makes yearn for something long lost...what, I can't explain. The power of music
Who always gets goosebumps when listening to this song? I do all the time..
everyday
you and me hey!
Joy Akinfenwa me to but i phumlan majoziiiiiiii
us
PHUMLANI MAJOLA I do too
It says whatever you want to hear!
Exactly! I agree with you...
Been looking for this song for the past 5 years 😢😢😢. Yoh! What a journey! I didn't know the name. ❤️❤️❤️
Same 😭😭😭
Used to hum the ayeee part on goggle until one day I found it
I would like to dare everyone who loves this song, to watch them perform it live 🙌🙌 I last saw them perform it live mid this year at Market at the sheds🙌 Talent!! I tell you.
2023 fam
I cried.
Are they still making music?
2024 we outchea
Who's here in 2020 and still in awe?
We never left
The fact that this song was made during a sound check just makes it even more beautiful!!
They were just jamming!!!! 😭😭😭
Amazing and supernatural
Every year I come to check in 2024 ❤❤
Music from another dimension, literally.
April 2020 and I found myself humming this song and for the life of me I could not remember the groups name. But then suddenly I just remembered, I am am so excited I've been repeating it for a while now.
Same thing happed to me today
I was listening 2 d old the soil tracks n it came 2 mind n yessss
This song is full of identity. I believe every African should feel at least a reflective joy from hearing this track. super guys. i love your sound
The language called music, is explained in this song. You can feel it
Those long road trips at night travelling by Greyhound from King Williams Town to Johannesburg.... have my headsets on... the 13 hours trip feels like 3 hours.
As a man, These men make me cry for no reason. In fact this particular song makes it rain onion rain😢
I saw this video on my vacation in South Africa in 2017. I don't understand the words, but the singing always give me goosebumps when I hear this song. They're all fantastic singers and their harmony is so clean. As a black African American I feel this innate connection to the music. And the cinematics are breathtaking.
Lol! It's not even a language. It's just sounds. It's amazing.
Would you believe it if I tell you that the "words" in the song have no meaning. They created the words to the song while they were just doing a sound check, hence the name of the song, so I've heard.
2024 I'm still here, Muffinz left a mark and this song is very spiritual you get the message in voices, instruments and rhythm. I feel like Africa will rise again
2021 SOUNDCHECK STILL BANGS. FUN FACT: this is not a language.
June 2023, ndilapha, am here, je sui la, eks is hier, ke Teng, ngikhona
How did it not get over a million views? First 25 seconds am in tears already. Someone explain that to me.
I also don't understand people don't appreciate good music
Good music is not meant to be appreciate by the general public who follow trends and go with the glow. Good music is only good to those who have taste in good music
September 2019, still goes in deep, it's a timeless song, it will never age
Yoh. Even October 2020
this song tells us more than what we could ever imagine about music....
So so very true!!! ❤️
I remember the first time I heard this song, I was so depressed but I would never let myself cry. It played on Live and I wasn't even paying attention to the show. When I heard the guys voice I stopped whatever I was doing and just cried, I let it all out and lucky I was alone. I felt light after that. Still love The Muffinz in 2019
I'm still here! 2018 😍😍😍😍😍😍😍
you not alone girrrrl
I'm with you
aayyyyeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!!!
We're here baep
lehlogonolo matsobane 5555.
Im in new york and really starting to miss home, i love SA
Am I the only ONE connecting with this song SPIRITUALLY???
Still my favorite in 2020
My love for this song is BOUNDLESS
In 2019 this is still my favourite soundcheck session 😃
The Beauty of Knowing That This Means Absolutely Nothing ❤️
you guys will never compose or produce a song as pure as this one is... never
when I see this video I get a feeling that this is one of the ways ancient Africa sang......like they are telling us the history we don't know about ourselves, Our lost history...a very nice feeling..........mother Africa telling stories through the children
sukuyiphatha nokuyiphatha leyo sisi😢😢😢
If this song does not open you up to the existence of God, nothing ever will! Nothing ever will!!
Whenever I feel so lonely and low I just come here and jam to this beautiful therapeutic song. ❤❤❤❤
Me too. I'm here every year since this song dropped on SABC 2. When I was still in primary. 🥹
2019. And I still don't know what they saying,but that don't matter. it's how they saying it . "have you heard how the muffinz ruled the world"
It's 2024 and this is still my comfort song 💚 🌻
Feb 2019
Res Wifi
Love of good music ❤❤
These Guys were way ahead of their time 🤞🏼
Still my fave song.
Playing this now because I was dreaming about it last night
It's 2021... This song still gets me! TIMELESS music indeed 💕
Its November 2019 and this song still goes way inn! The crazy thing about this song being called sound check its because it was originaly just THAT because the lyrics dont mean anything, they were just doing sound check. Ironicaly a classic came out.
This song reminds me everyday that I'm not from Africa but Afrika myself...
Proudly African...🤞🏿
It's been almost a decade and I'm still moved whenever I hear this song.
Nompumelelo Hlongwane same
Me too reminds me of my first days in SA/Jozi, schooling at Langlaagte in 2012
Always watched this video on rotation it's still as sentimental Afrolistically Soulful now in 2020 March as it was back then
2020 Who's listening?
2020 June 25 still listening to this track... Takes me back to my rural village I grew up in. Thank you for healing me with music
GOES TO SHOW, MUSIC IS A UNIVERSAL LANGUAGE OF THE SPIRIT.....
Amazing song!
Connects to your soul.
They are not even saying anything, this is great.
The muffins is just pure talent.... ❤️
Andiyiva noba ithini! Still sounds as soulful 10 years later! Classic!❤️🙏🏼
Funny how it's not even an existing language but you can almost feel what he's saying. Umculo yenye nje into
Its 2020 in the middle of the Covid 19 pandemic and I'm still listening to this track
The Muffinz have a very fresh sound and yet it's not difficult to relate to their music. Exactly what the South African music industry needed if you ask me. A familiar yet fresh sound. You swear you've heard them somewhere before their "Have you heard" album and you have. You just needed to be reminded of the fact.
Takes you somewhere emotionally and spiritually. It does exactly what music should do, touch the soul. #OnRepeat
I understand that these lyrics are a son mourning his mother's passing. Yes I still have both living parents but my dad was dead to me from the age of four and I nothing lets out my emotions than this song and I know I'm not the only one feeling this way 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭
Epic Sound Boys, YOU MAKE US PROUD TO BE SOUTH AFRICAN!!!!
Mid-September 2019 still here❤️❤️
2022 and it hits deep😍
💌💫💟I still love this song to bits and pieces☮☮☮☮☮☮❤🧡💛
ayeye kurimbi nahangarhoyi..musi a usanamara la prokomonenti simbaya raro ka theni la fa. Mosi a nara re te muni aya.
the feeling of listening to something good but having no idea what it says great stuff
ah man the beauty of this song
I love this song and it reminds me of my mom that she is in heaven watching over me right now and thanks to the Muffins it brings closure to my heart♥♥

HOW CAN A SONG BE SO POWERFUL... MUSIC IS ART, THE MAGIC IS IN THE MELODY.
A month does pass without me listening to this song .
Its beautiful in every way.
I don't know whether to cry or dance to this. Even thought I don't understand the lyrics but I really love this song, it is my favourite song of all time utill the end! #OnRepeatForCenturies
When my soul needs settling 🙇🏻♀️🤦🏻♀️ I always remember to look for this melody… since varsity when I discovered this song 🎵 & in 2024 it still quenches my soul.
this is the best song I've heard in ages
Even after 5 years it is still the best
2019 and we're still here
2023📍🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️I loved these guys so much, still do. I hope they’re happy wherever they’re because they give us very sacred music.
Evidence...that rhythm originates in Africa...
Even in 2020, this still hits home ♥️ Art
This album should have strictly been on old records, cause the integrity should be appreciated up there with the bob dylans, jimmi hendrixs and the beetles albums. SA flavour at its best!
The year is the 1st of 12022 of the human era, and I find myself once more back here again. Listening to this song ta speaks to my absent soul.... blissssssss.
I can't believe I listen to this song again after all these years. Brings back memories
Even if impilo inga hlangani I still listen to this song jus to remind me where am from!! Even when I meet them I feel like the kid that was seeing this from SABC2 🥰❤️
With art and compassion we will overcome.
2019 I'm still here💗💗💗💞💞💞
This song leads me to a rolercoster of emotions, everytime I listen to it. This type of sound reminds me of guys like Richard Bona and Lokua Kanza. Grown folks music right here.
Heard this song again after 8 years and still got the same goosebumps like I just heard it for the first time 🥹
Great Music.. pure african sounds.. super proud..
OF ALL GROUPS OF THIS COUNTRY I HAVE NEVER SEEN NOR HEARD OF SUCH GROUP AS THE MUFFINZ, THEIR MUSIC IS SO "AT HOME" - THIS TRACK MAKES A LOT OF A SENSE TO THE SOUL EVEN IF IT HAS NO DEFINED MEANING.
I don't care whether this language is made up or not. I can hear what he's saying. His authentic voice and heartfelt performance is translating meaning within my soul
Never gave these guys a chance up until i saw them live. When they played this tune, DAMN!!! Keke's voice is so powerful it takes this entire production to the next level. Its true that music is a universal language. Beautiful song is waar!!!
Takes me years back❤
Still fresh even now 2024 May 27❤
2021... Still here. And still my favourite ❤️
Back when music was still music..OH! My bad its the present..actually meant..these guys have brought REAL MUSIC back..awesome
With everything thats going on in Africa right now I feel like this song is a cry from our ancestors begging us to unite, love each other and build a strong continent for ourselves and the generations to come. (Even though ngingezwa ukuthi bathini its a very spiritual song😢)
Don’t worry hun this is not a language that’s why it’s called sound check the just went with what they were feeling
8 years later I’m still camping here 😭🔥❤️
amazing... heard it in a podcast and came searching
Should have been on black panther❤love it forever
It's year 2022 and I still come here to regain strength!
Still out here in 2019❤️🔥
In 2023 I am here and teary when I listen to this sound. It has been a journey 🌼🌼
2019 Muffinz💃💃💃💃💃😢😢😢😢❤🇿🇦🇿🇦🇿🇦
