Singer-Songwriter Wandile Mbambeni has released his new country blues single, “Time Will Tell”, a moving reflection on patience, healing, and the quiet power of faith. The track marks the official lead single from his forthcoming EP ‘You Love Who You Love’, a project that delves deep into the raw truths of love and redemption.
With ‘Time Will Tell’, Wandile Mbambeni continues to affirm his reputation as one of South Africa’s most compelling voices. The song is carried by stripped-back instrumentation, smoky textures, and his unmistakable vocal delivery, intimate yet commanding. It paints a portrait of waiting, surrender, and trusting in the timing of life and love.
The upcoming EP ‘You Love Who You Love’ is described by Wandile Mbambeni as a soul-baring journey through struggle, heartbreak, and ultimately, hope. Blending folk, country blues, warm R&B tones, and gospel-rooted soul, the project captures what it means to love in all its complexity, sometimes messy, sometimes painful, but always real.

Speaking on the new single, Wandile shares:
“‘Time Will Tell’ is about trusting the process. It’s about knowing that no matter how uncertain life feels, truth and healing always reveal themselves with time.”
Wandile’s rise has been remarkable — from busking on the streets of East London and Germany to gracing stages alongside Snoh Aalegra, PJ Morton, and Milky Chance. With over half a million cumulative streams in the EP with songs like Hey Lord, I Don’t Regret It and A Father’s Prayer, and international recognition on Apple TV’s My Kind of Country in Nashville, he has steadily become a defining voice in South Africa’s new wave of soulful storytellers.
