Kenjah Drops ‘When I’m With You’

Published

on

Some songs are made for a particular moment and “When I’m With You” feels like it belongs somewhere between golden-hour sunsets, warm nights and a dancefloor that doesn’t want the evening to end.

For Kenjah, the Brooklyn-born artist and actress, that feeling comes naturally. Raised by Jamaican parents, she brings her Caribbean roots into a sound that moves effortlessly between reggae, Afrobeats, R&B and pop, creating something that feels both familiar and fresh.

The track has plenty of bounce, but there’s a romantic confidence running underneath it. Smooth vocals, island-inspired rhythms and flashes of electric guitar give “When I’m With You” its easygoing energy, while the chorus lands with the kind of warmth that makes you want to sing along.

And while the song might sound carefree, its message is quietly defiant: when the connection is real, outside opinions don’t get to decide its value.

That combination of romance, rhythm and self-assurance suits Kenjah perfectly. Already known to audiences through her work on Beyond the Gates, she’s increasingly building a creative identity that stretches between music and acting, with each side informing the other.

There’s also a visual world waiting to accompany the track, with a cinematic music video on the way. But for now, “When I’m With You” does exactly what a great summer release should do; it makes you want to turn the volume up, move a little closer and forget what everyone else thinks.

Press play and let Kenjah set the mood.

Naomi Aguilera casts her spell with her new single BB ILY

Two years ago, Naomi Aguilera walked onto my radar with EGO, an infectious soulful pop debut that made it impossible not to move. Fast forward to her debut EP Mosaïques, and it was clear she wasn’t just passing through. Personal, colorful, rooted in her Spanish heritage & Brussels upbringing, it even earned her a spot as Apple Music Benelux’s Up Next artist!

Now she’s back with BB ILY, marking the start of a new era. The bilingual single — French and English — is built around one of the most universal human experiences: that special connection that doesn’t need translation. Where EGO invited you to forget your ex on the dancefloor, BB ILY pulls you somewhere more intimate: with sultry beats courtesy of Turana, it’s a dance where gestures, whispers, sighs and the sound of a voice matters more than the words that come out of it… It’s sensual, a little mystical, and entirely her own.

First taste of Naomi Aguilera’s upcoming project Ojalá, due in 2027, it feels effortlessly catchy. This is the kind of track that casts its spell quietly, with interesting and unexpected rhythmic shifts in the verses, and a delicious chorus that lodges itself in your head before you even notice. By the time you do, it’s too late. But you won’t find me complaining about it!
