Multicultural Talent Daada Unveils Heartfelt Single ‘Song For You’

Published

on

Prepare to be transported across continents and cultures as Daada, the German-Colombian songstress with Tanzanian roots, shares her enchanting new single ‘Song For You’, out now via Daada Music. This track is a delightful prelude to her upcoming EP ‘Home’, set to release on June 21, 2024.

Daada, known offstage as Maike Valentina Kusserow, effortlessly blends her multicultural heritage into her music, creating a refreshing pop sound that resonates globally. Raised in Arusha, Tanzania, and now splitting her time between East Africa and Berlin, Daada’s music is a vibrant tapestry woven with threads from Africa, Latin America, and Europe.

Since picking up her grandma’s guitar in her youth, Daada has been a storytelling force, penning multilingual songs in English, Spanish, Swahili, and German. Her unique sound is a rich blend of genres, influenced by icons like Shakira, and spans Reggaeton, Cumbia, Bongo Fleva, Amapiano, and Indie. Imagine the power of Billie Eilish, Karol G, and Ayra Starr fused into an unexpected, fresh take on Pop – that’s Daada.

‘Song For You’ is an uplifting Afropop gem that wraps listeners in warmth and nostalgia. Driven by a hypnotic beat and punctuated by sentimental guitar, Daada’s angelic vocals celebrate the unwavering support of loved ones. She describes the track as a “love letter” to her supporters, friends, and family, reflecting the gratitude she feels for their constant presence.

I wanted ‘Song for you’ to make you think of the people in your life who have been showing up for you since day one. I hope people hear it and send it to those angels. For me, it’s a love letter to my supporters, friends and family. I am so grateful for all the love I receive and for the beautiful souls that are on this journey with me. The whole upcoming EP is for you, but this song especially.” – Daada

Mark your calendars for June 21, 2024, when Daada’s EP ‘Home’ will transport listeners on a transcultural journey. Created between Berlin, Bogota, and Nairobi, this EP promises to be a sonic exploration of identity, love, and belonging.

Kingdom Kome drops new videos for Arepa Y Manteca LP

Published

on

Miami, FL Lyricist & Veteran MC Kingdom Kome goes to Colombia to fill his sweet tooth in a new double video and single(s) drop for “Mantecon” and “Arepa Mantecon.”  The video (was filmed by Franco Imagemaker and Edited by David Sakolsky of Gusto Gold Productions)was shot on location in Medellin, which is also the home turf of producer The Equation Beats.  

This is the first drop from the forthcoming full-length collaboration between the two entitled Arepa Y Manteca.  Named for a traditional Colombian delicacy, according to Argentinian born Kingdom Kome “we decided to keep the project real paisa, which means countryman.  This includes most of the album collaborators Colombian RawAjaxLo & CTraffik.”  

Other album guests will include Che Uno, Sunez Allah and ParaNoize and the result is ominous instrumentals and grimy beats clashing with disrespectful lyrics in two languages.

Watch the official video for “Mantecon/Arepa Mantecon” here: 

The genesis of this album grew out of a track that The Equation Beats produced for the duo project of Kingdom Kome & Che Uno known as Los Chicos Criollos featuring Crimeapple.

Watch official video for “Burundanga” ft. Crimeapple: https://youtu.be/AnB6RnMJ4Zk?si=FJ4Bk67rqR3CAzK6

Based on the strength of that song, Kingdom Kome and The Equation Beats kept it moving and lo and behold Arepa Y Manteca is on the way!  In addition to the recent full-length drop D10S Sucio of Los Chicos Criollos, Kingdom Kome is also promoting Dirty Linens, a fully collaborative project with Brockton, MA’s G Fam Black.
