Kansah drops summer heater “Sexy”
UK artist Kansah is back and he’s turning the temperature all the way up with his new single “Sexy” (May 29, 2026).
Built for festivals, clubs, rooftops, and late-night summer chaos, “Sexy” blends Afrobeats, Afro house, UK rap, R&B and dance energy into one smooth, high-impact groove. It’s playful, confident, and impossible to sit still to.
Originally starting as a more traditional Afrobeats record, the track got a full glow-up, rebuilt into an Afro house fusion designed for big crowds, big sound systems and even bigger vibes.
Kansah’s known for jumping between sounds — rap, grime, Afrobeats, amapiano, club — and “Sexy” is him fully in his element: no rules, just rhythm.
And he’s not slowing down. After performing at Afrofest Bristol and sharing stages with names like Dappy, Jay1, Fido and S1mba, he’s heading into a packed summer run across the UK, Spain and Kenya, including shows with Awilo Longomba and Cassidy.
Online, his collaborations with Dr Chaii and DJ Boat are already close to 3M Spotify streams, with TV support from Trace Africa and MTV helping spread the sound even further.
Bottom line: “Sexy” isn’t just a song title, it’s a whole summer mood.
Spanish singer-songwriter Francisco, now based in the UK, returns with his latest release “Passing Fix”, a raw, fast-moving standout from his new album Open Letters.
If heartbreak had a soundtrack while it’s still actively happening (and not yet processed), this would be it.
Blending alternative rock, folk, and indie-experimental production, Open Letters explores emotional dependency, longing, and the messy space between connection and collapse. But “Passing Fix” is where things get especially unfiltered; a spiralling mix of humour, bitterness, vulnerability, and brutal self-awareness.
It’s the sound of overthinking in real time.
The song started with a single, very honest chorus line:
“If I’m still single by 28 I’ll drown myself in liquor, be a spinster…”
From there, Francisco built a track that feels like emotional overload in motion: part diary entry, part breakdown, part ironic commentary on his own thoughts.
Wanting it to feel like the emotional aftermath of his earlier track “21/7”, Francisco leans fully into obsession, self-sabotage, and the way we sometimes blame ourselves just to make sense of hurt.
“Passing Fix” doesn’t just describe heartbreak; it lives inside it, spirals through it, and somehow turns it into something strangely cathartic.
