This first quarter of the year has been about experiencing different types of unexpected collaborations in the music industry. We are talking about matches we wouldn’t have imagined but never denied when they hit us.
London-raised Nigeria born singer/songwriter Darkoo has made beyond headway in her musical career since her sprouting single, Gangster in 2019, with so much more to be noted in her diary of exploits. Being one of the very few artists within the scene that can be noted as a hybrid artist and sitting on many genres whilst keeping her authenticity.
What sets her on a far-reaching plane is the uniqueness of the collaborations she chooses. Killing the game both musically & collaboratively, Darkoo has single handedly graced the music scene with heavy hits & collabs to follow.
Following the global hit with Black Sherif, One Acen, and chart-rocketing tracks with Mayorkun, Bnxn, Tion Wayne, KiDi, and Blanco. Possessing a solid sonic quality with clearly worded content easy to grasp at first play, “Disturbing U” relates to the stance of every successful sought after youngster thriving in the creative industry. A seemingly refined Afrobeats sound found to be soothing, coming from two new school kids topping their space in the game. The enthralling display of strings might be the reason to get one stuck on this song and it is predicted to end up a huge pop culture wave.
Ayraa Star of Mavin Records has made a rapid climb from the first time she was ever heard of, and the story about her is told to be flaming hotter in intensity for every move she makes. A huge awareness of themselves is put into the verses of the song; what was created in ‘Disturbing U’ depicts the unapologetic place the singers have come to be through hard work and staying grounded. Disturbing U; also leads the range of wholesome Afrobeats sounds in 2023.
Produced by Grammy award winner, DËRA with credits with Bad Bunny, Jack Harlow, Oxlade, Major Lazer, Teni, Diplo, Disturbing U featuring Ayra Starr of Mavin Records is another one for the books, and it is guaranteed to exceed all known records.
