Queen Noma links with Nay Maps and DJ Maphorisa on a house and Amapiano single called “Count Your Blessings.”
The record runs five minutes and forty-two seconds, so the vocals get real room to breathe. Queen Noma carries the gratitude message without turning it into a lecture. DJ Maphorisa, born Themba Sekowe, handled the composition. She and Nay Maps, born Nkosinathi Maphalala, share the songwriting credits.
It also ties into her Anti-Pens Down Campaign, launched in Mdantsane, East London. That initiative urges young people to celebrate their wins safely. Using a song instead of a speech makes the message land softer. The video leans into the same spirit, with Queen Noma in traditional-inspired red attire and gold neck rings beside both collaborators.
Her delivery stays warm rather than showy, and Nay Maps slots in without disrupting the groove. The release arrives through Kings Records in partnership with Virgin Music Group.
