FRAGADA Shares Emotional New Track “Désolé”
Step into the melancholic embrace of autumn mornings and solitary strolls through deserted parks with FRAGADA’s latest release, “Désolé”. This isn’t just a song; it’s a profound journey through the labyrinth of human consciousness and heart, a poignant reflection on life’s choices and regrets.
As the music infuses bluesy tones and gray hues, it paints a vivid picture of fleeting opportunities and the weight of unspoken words. “Désolé” etches its title subtly on a park bench where two lonely souls converge and diverge, symbolizing the burden of unsaid words and undone deeds. Against the backdrop of the solitary Temple of the Sibylle, towering atop its rocky perch, the scene unfolds—a poignant reminder that even in despair, there is beauty and the promise of renewal.
Through “Désolé”, FRAGADA beckons us to embrace our vulnerabilities and find strength in our regrets. It’s a reminder that our deepest humanity often lies in acknowledging our failures.
Born Mapli Guy Gbizie in Ivory Coast and later finding his musical home in Paris, FRAGADA—also known as Mapli and Dixx—has carved a niche in the city’s vibrant music scene. From impromptu jam sessions to prestigious venues like Le Trois Maillet, his journey from 2009 to 2024 reflects a dynamic identity and artistic evolution, weaving a rich tapestry of musical styles and projects that resonate with audiences far and wide.
So, let “Désolé” be your soundtrack as you navigate the complexities of life and love, finding solace in the music’s tender embrace and the universal truths it unveils.

Shelana Azora and Richandell Turn Betrayal Into Power With Bold New Single “Can’t Trust”
What happens when trust is broken but you find yourself stronger on the other side? Shelana Azora and Richandell (pronunced Ree-SHEN-dul) explore that moment of clarity on their powerful new collaboration “Can’t Trust”, a soulful R&B and hip-hop fusion built on honesty, confidence, and moving forward.
Blending Shelana’s emotive vocals with Richandell’s smooth, rhythm-driven production, the track captures the shift from heartbreak to self-respect. It’s vulnerable without being defeated, turning disappointment into a reminder that knowing your worth can be the ultimate comeback.
Produced entirely by Richandell, “Can’t Trust” showcases his ability to create a space where emotion and groove exist side by side. Drawing from R&B, hip-hop, and global influences, the production gives Shelana room to deliver a performance that feels both intimate and fearless.
For Shelana, the track represents a new chapter built around confidence, boundaries, and embracing every part of her artistry. Moving between singing and rap, she brings the honesty and energy shaped by years performing in London’s vibrant music scene.
The collaboration began with instant creative chemistry during a studio session in Amsterdam, eventually leading the pair to record at the legendary Wisseloord Studios. What started as a spontaneous connection grew into a cross-border partnership built on shared vision and trust, even if the song itself is about losing it.
With “Can’t Trust”, Shelana Azora and Richandell prove that some of the hardest moments can create the strongest music. It’s a song about betrayal, but more importantly, it’s a song about reclaiming yourself.
