Bembeleza

Ever felt like you're giving 100% but all you get back is drama? "Bembeleza" is for everyone tired of the games but still deep in love. Mixing Swahili vibes with a touch of Gĩkũyũ soul, this track explores the fine line between "nakulombotove" and "sitaku-bembeleza."

P.O.V

Late night thoughts, unfiltered emotions, and a simple request: see things from my point of view. From the chaos and gin to the spoken word breakdown, this is for anyone who has ever felt unheard in love. Don't bottle it up.

Collage Highs

Written to induce nostalgia. "College Highs" takes you back to that young, reckless campus love. A polaroid of that time when you fell inlove with someone without having found yourself yet. Taking long walks just to keep the conversation going.

Stage Fights

This track dives into the shadows of a relationship that feels more like a performance than love. It’s about the smoking mirrors, keeping up appearances, and the "beige dreams" that keep us trapped. When 2 people stay together nursing heartbreaks, scared to leave. Scared to be lonely.

Lethal Weapon

One time, two times... by the fourth time, you know it’s what's up. This is that high-octane anthem about undeniable chemistry. When the attraction is a lethal weapon, even a saint starts tripping. I'm talking about that kind of beauty that makes you act a fool.

Someone Like You

We've been on this road many, many times... but the destination is always the same. You. This track is dedicated to the love that stays, even when it strays, even when the bags are packed. It explores the cycle of conflict and resolution. It's an admission that no matter how hard it gets, nobody else compares.🤞🏾
