One of South Africa’s most influential and beloved pop and R&B groups of the 1990s, Twins is making a meaningful return to the music scene.

During their rise to prominence, Twins captured the hearts of audiences across the country with a distinctive sound defined by soothing R&B melodies, authentic African harmonies and heartfelt songwriting. Their ability to create music that spoke to listeners of all ages earned them widespread recognition and a loyal fan base that has cherished their songs for decades.

The duo became one of the defining musical acts of their era, appealing to both young and old through music that was soulful, relatable and deeply rooted in love, connection and shared experience. Their unforgettable catalogue remains an important part of South Africa’s musical heritage.

After achieving remarkable success, members Nhlanhla Shabangu and Lucky Shabangu gradually stepped away from the public music scene to pursue different personal and professional paths. While their absence was deeply felt by supporters, their musical legacy endured their songs remaining a source of nostalgia, inspiration and joy.

More than two decades later, original members Nhlanhla and Lucky Shabangu are returning with an exciting new chapter in the Twins story. Their comeback is led by the forthcoming release of their new single, “Amalangabi” a moving and uplifting song that celebrates love, connection and the enduring power of music.

“Amalangabi” is a reimagined version of Twins’ much-loved hit “Love 10 Thousand,” the song that helped launch the group into stardom during the early 1990s. While the new release honours the emotional depth, spirit and musical heart of the original recording, it also introduces a fresh and contemporary sound created for today’s audiences.

The single blends the signature harmonies, soulful vocal delivery and heartfelt style that made Twins iconic with current musical influences. The result is a song that feels both nostalgic and modern, one that respectfully celebrates the group’s extraordinary past while confidently stepping into the present.

Expected to resonate strongly with longtime supporters while introducing Nhlanhla and Lucky to a new generation of music lovers, “Amalangabi” carries a powerful message of love, appreciation and celebration. It’s an ideal soundtrack for weddings, special occasions, live performances, family gatherings and the everyday moments in which we honour the people who mean the most to us.

The release of “Amalangabi” will be followed by even more exciting developments. Nhlanhla and Lucky Shabangu are expected to release a full-length album before the end of the year. The forthcoming project will mark a significant new chapter for Twins, bringing together the group’s rich musical legacy and a renewed creative vision that reflects their growth as artists and individuals.

As part of their comeback, the duo will also tour across the country. These performances will provide an opportunity to reconnect with fans who have supported them throughout the years while welcoming new audiences into the Twins musical journey. Concertgoers can expect to experience the warmth, harmony, soulful energy and timeless chemistry that made Twins a household name.

This return is not simply about revisiting the past. It is about celebrating a legacy, reconnecting through music, and sharing a renewed artistic voice with audiences across generations.

“Amalangabi” represents much more than a comeback single — it is a celebration of love, memory, resilience and the return of a truly special South African musical voice.

Nhlanhla and Lucky Shabangu are ready to take the country by storm once again.
