About Cardinal X25

Cardinal X25 is a South African amapiano artist whose music arrives with cinematic visuals made by his own Cardinal X25 Films.

“Ngizokuthanda Njalo Mama”, his single on Kineograph, is sung in Zulu over a clean log-drum groove, and its video tells a golden-hour story of a mother and her child in matching beadwork. The video itself supplies its English lines on screen — “We will meet again, Mama”, “I will love you forever” — and they are the only translation we offer, because they are the only one the artist has published. The song is © Cardinal X25, released under exclusive licence to JMP Entertainment, whose channel carries the video.

On Kineograph: Final Score 7.5/10 — AI Slop Meter: Some slop (on the single post).

Two and a quarter million views in, the groove has never once wobbled — and the necklace scene, a mother fastening beads at her child’s neck as the light goes gold, is the image the whole song hangs on.
