The Gqom queen is almost always on point with her vocals whenever she graces a track, but those vocals are usually a mixture of talking, chanting and recital. However, it’s very rare that Babes, whose real name is Bongekile Simelane, decides to strip the music away and simply sing for her fans.
In an interview with Metro FM in 2017, Babes actually revealed that she is a good singer and although many hadn’t heard her voice, she warned that they could be in for a surprise.
At the time she said: “I know how to sing, people don’t know that I am capable but they will see soon.”

In 2017, Babes shared a video of herself singing a Gospel song on Instagram:
Just like last year, fans and followers were extremely shocked by her ability to not only hold a note, but actually control every aspect of her singing voice with calmness and confidence.
