Unusual (Live / Deluxe)

Xolly Mncwango's extensive 26-track album, Unusual (Live / Deluxe), released on 25 July, 2025, showcases her dynamic presence as a contemporary gospel artist. The album presents a collection of live recordings, primarily from her performances at Cedarwoods of Sandton in 2023 and Carnival City in 2024. This expanded edition offers listeners an immersive experience of her powerful vocals and engaging stage presence, capturing the energy of her worship. The tracklist includes well-received songs like "Healing Power," "Alikho Igama," and the titular "Unusual," demonstrating her distinctive blend of traditional gospel with R&B and soul influences. The album's considerable length allows for a comprehensive display of Mncwango's musical range and lyrical themes, which frequently revolve around faith and devotion. Several tracks feature collaborations, such as "Dunyiswa" with Nozipho Phiri and prayer segments with Ps Msimanga and Ps Motloung, adding diverse vocal textures and spiritual depth. The inclusion of both new material and live versions of previously released songs, like those from her 2024 Unusual (Live At Cedarwoods of Sandton, 2023), creates a cohesive narrative of her artistic journey and evolving sound.
