Ghanaian Afrosoul artist KJ explores his versatility and range with the release of his first single for 2025 dubbed “Follow.”

KJ drifts away from deep-rooted lyrics into a more relaxed tone on the mid-tempo record to move his listeners onto the dance floor.

On “Follow,” he sings his heart out for a lover while mesmerizing the listener with his silky free-flowing vocals. The song, written by KJ and produced by Nana Osei Arthur, is a light-hearted piece that shows a rare playfulness absent in many of KJ’s works, exhibiting a fun glimpse into the moments of seeing and proceeding to pursue a beautiful woman. It’s a welcomed reprieve from his darker work and helps to show his versatility in which even the smallest moment can be used for his inspiration.

Unlike his previous works written to detail hardship, love, loss, and overcoming, “Follow,” follows a more eased-up approach yet the artist does not compromise on the quality of his production and delivery.

Not only does he wow that beautiful damsel with his lyrics, but the elegant rhythmic performance produces an exquisite euphonious record for that lone night out with a loved one.

“Follow” sets the mood right and with simple yet spellbinding words like: “And I’m tryna play my cards right; Is you the queen of hearts; I need to know,” it certainly does the trick.

KJ lays it bare on the over three-minute song – he’s vulnerable, ready to offer everything and still measured. His vocal performance is unmatched and although it’s early days yet, he makes a fine case for vocalist of the year with his delivery on this latest song.

Testify? He certainly wins your vote after the first listen while you win that crush’s heart with the sound. Fair game? Stream “Follow” by KJ on all digital streaming platforms here.

Dysmusia Keeps “In your eyes” Honest, Warm And Straight To The Point

It is easy to see why a songwriter might be drawn to a story like this. Relationships rarely finish as neatly as people would like, and the space between “it is over” and “maybe we should try again” can produce plenty of material. For Dysmusia, that space becomes the setting for latest single “In your eyes”, out now through Now Listen.

The Irish singer-songwriter has a knack for keeping his writing close to everyday life, and this track benefits from that approach. He looks at an old relationship that has already gone through several attempts at making things work, then focuses on what happens when those feelings start creeping back in.

What makes the song appealing is the balance between sincerity and a lighter touch. Dysmusia is clearly invested in the situation, but he does not turn every moment into a grand declaration. There is room for a bit of humour and hesitation along the way, which keeps the song feeling natural.

The arrangement gives the song a pleasing lift. Acoustic guitar sits at the heart of it, with the dropped tuning adding some richness and a second guitar bringing extra colour. The result has folk at its core but carries enough indie-rock influence to give it a little extra punch.

Dysmusia’s Irish background is another part of the picture. Based between Antrim and Dublin and coming from a musical family, he has developed a style that puts storytelling alongside contemporary guitar sounds.

“In your eyes” brings those influences together without making a fuss about them. It is a personable, melodic track about feelings that refuse to follow a neat timetable, delivered with enough warmth to make the story easy to get behind.
