The album, set to launch on March 7, explores themes of mental health, healing, and human connection. Tracks like Ukukhanya (There’s light), Uthando (A Love Letter), and the titular Breathe showcase Zethe’s channels her own journey of healing into music that mirrors the struggles and triumphs of the human spirit.
“Releasing Breathe has been a deeply personal and transformative journey,” Zethe shares. “This album is my way of offering comfort and courage to others. We all experience moments where life feels overwhelming, but if we pause, take a breath, and reconnect with ourselves, we can find the strength to keep going. The tour is a chance to share this message in person as we celebrate life, healing, and music together.”
