Gaise Baba and Nontokozo Mkhize join forces on “Smile for Joy,” a feel-good gospel record full of love and thankfulness. The track carries a simple but uplifting message about finding reasons to smile even when life gets tough.
This fresh collaboration arrives as part of Gaise Baba’s 13-track album “God Is Cooking,” which dropped on 14 August 2026 under 464 Records. Reinhard Tega handles production duties here. The mellow pace and enticing vocal passages make it easy to press replay again and again.
Gaise Baba has been on a steady run lately. His “No Turning Back II” single dropped in 2025, and he continues blending gospel with Afrobeats in ways that keep him relevant across both scenes. Nontokozo Mkhize adds exquisite melodic vocals that gel perfectly with the overall vibe, giving both artists room to flex their abilities.
What makes this record work is how naturally the message lands. It reminds listeners that joy lives in the small things and that each new day brings something to be grateful for. Gaise Baba plays his part calmly and passionately, while his collaborator’s voice brings a welcoming balance to the combination.
