Afro-pop Singer Ashleye Scarlette Hits Back with ‘Nikuamini’ Single

Posted on by Oscar Alochi

Afro-pop star Ashleye Scarlette is back with one of her most vulnerable releases to date. Out on Tuesday (May 27), “Nikuamini” is a standalone single from the singer based on her personal experiences.

The new track, her first of 2019, is an impactful dance-tinged ballad that puts the emphasis on Ashleye Scarlett’s expressive vocal tone as she flits between airy breathiness and powerful, sweeping belts.

Lyrically, the song relays the artist’s sense of assurance and focuses on a relationship that might end in sorrow despite her putting her trust in it  “Nifanye Nikuamini,” she sings and shares how the singer wanted to hold onto it even though she knows that it was something she needed to turn away from.

A deep Afro-pop track, “Nikuamini” is a tempo-shifting dance song that puts the focus on her synergy as a vocalist. It seamlessly flits between the breezy tones of the vocalist and her gruffer deliveries to create a vibrant soundscape soaring with shimmering synths and groovy beats.
[taq_review]

The music video for the song bring even more focus on the theme as portrayed in the lyrics with the director capturing scenes of the singer having a conversation with the said lover then back solely onto the star, doing away with the flash and flare often associated with the world of pop and instead pans over the normal union of a couple in argument.

Exclusive Patoranking’s Interview With BlackNBold Magazine

Posted on by Oscar Alochi

Patoranking chats with BlackNBold magazine about his new album named after his daughter ”Wilmer” and his thoughts on fashion and style.

1. How did you come up with your stage name?’
My name is Patrick so Pato was coined from it and Ranking came as the word implies. When you are ranked, it holds relevance. Hence Pato-Ranking.

2. What do you enjoy most about being a musician? and What do you hate most?
Definitely love the creation of the music, how i feel, the freedom, that spiritual saturation of sounds that you might call inspiration.
Hate is a strong word, i think its more of discomfort.
I feel slightly uncomfortable with the lack of privacy but i guess it comes with the job.

3. What has kept you going over the past years?
My hunger to learn, my anticipation to win and my drive to impact.
I represent a whole race, a whole generation and music has given me a voice, there is a responsibility on my shoulders, it is an honour! Also what has kept me going is the Love for what I do and those I do it for.

4. If you could change anything about the industry, what would it be?
The mindset that talent is everything and solely needed to be an artist or musician

5. Tell us about the Wilmer album and why did you choose to name this one after your daughter?
Apart from my daughter’s name being Wilmer, Wilmer means “Famous” in German and that is a great follow up to my 1st Album – God over Everything. It summarizes my journey (which isn’t over).
I prophesied in Alubarika, put out a body of work by putting God over Everything and now I’m famous (Wilmer).

6. How was it like working with Alexander Julian on the Lenge Lenge photo shoot?
It was humbling, as you know he is an amazing creative and i love the outcome of our work together.

7. Which is your most favourite track off the Album and what makes it dear to you?
It’s difficult to choose as they are all my faves and they tell different tales that are super dear to me.
My inspiration on this album is far fetched…deeply felt.

8. In the Lenge Lenge video what inspired the afrobeat theme?
Afrobeat is ours and the Late Great Fela inspired it. However with the visuals, it was important to portray that he was (we also are) Afrocentric yet fashionable.
Our fabrics and designs are globally embraced and this song and video was a union of both our sound and style which was part of the uniqueness of Ba ami.

9. Mention that one international collaboration you are still looking forward to and why?
There’s quite a number of them lol. Play my part with securing the bridge that takes Africa to the world.

10. Any music tour to Europe and North America anytime soon?
Definitely! I will be taking the music to the fans across Europe, Canada and the US very soon.

Elizabeth Nahna New Song Nisamehe Official HD Video

Posted on by Oscar Alochi

Just over a month following the release of “Duogi E Pacho” featuring Roy Captain of Supersquad band, Elizabeth Nahna enters the digital universe to deliver the brand new  visual to her latest single, which premiered  with YouTube on Wednesday evening  (May 15).

Singer Elizabeth Nahna Delivers ‘Nisamehe’ Single

“I’m all about making records that feel good. I want to take my listeners on a trip every time they hear music from me,” the Kisumu City native says. “After I linked up with Malique from MGF Studio to create the song, I knew ‘NISAMEHE’ needed a cute, well-crafted and original visual to match.”

With that said Nahna went and linked up with Kenya’s best music video producer and director Johnson Kyalo to assist in telling her story and direct her fourth video together. “As an independent artist it’s super important to execute the vision I see properly, so I knew I needed a director I can count on,” she adds. “Even though we both live in two different cities, the universe always aligns everything to work out for the greater good.

The Afro-Pop artist kicks off the clip by hitchhiking for a ride back home to her lover who is seen in the village pushing a handcart and using it to hawk water to enable him take care of two children their mother; Nahna left for her while eloping with a much ‘better’ lover. She is now coming back regretful and humbly asking to be forgiven for her past deeds.

[taq_review]

Nahna has since proven to be among the few top most new female breed of artists coming from the lakeside town of Kisumu, Kenya. To date she has managed to share the stage with the likes Diamond Platnumz, Jose Chameleone, the late Oliver Mtukudzi and a host of many other legendary musicians that she has also gotten a chance to work and interact with on different levels.

“I’m really happy with how the video turned out and the concept behind it,” the Kisumu transplant concludes. “I hope that people will enjoy it as much as we had fun creating it.”
