Multicultural Talent Daada Unveils Heartfelt Single ‘Song For You’
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.

As if dropping a three-pack project filled with bangers was not eye-catching enough, Burgeoning Ghanaian talent NSRB Dray has served another masterpiece with the release of his new single “Eye for Eye.”
Known for singing from raw emotions, NSRB Dray takes it a step further in this new release where he talks about being in a state of despair and self-doubt.
However, there’s no doubt about his intentions on the record. NSRB Dray goes in hard from the first beat drop on the YNT Deezy-produced track.
On “Eye for Eye,” he glides on the boppy instrumentals for two minutes straight, highlighting the world’s abundance of greed, unforgiveness, ego, and pride.
He opens with his version of the famous Mahatma Gandhi saying, “An eye for an Eye leaves the world blind,” before letting his baritone vocals shine through what can pass a “here’s how the world works” pep talk to the listeners.
The record boasts of superior rawness draped around melodious saxophone sounds by Sam Aryee, missing in so many fine-tuned street-preaching jams lately. NSRB Dray’s delivery stands out as the lyrics pierce the ears and hearts of the listeners to nod and note down.
He shared the reason for his choice of lyrics exclusively to Amplify Ghana, stating that his never-give-up spirit pushed him to send a message of hope to his audience.
“Eye for Eye is a music piece written in a state of disrepair and self-doubt. It talks about not giving up and staying well composed in every situation,” he explained.
After dropping “PLAN B” which touched on a similar subject matter, last year, this new release could easily pass as his master plan, but the singer’s unpredictability and versatility means fans can expect different sounds from him.
“Eye for Eye,” is NSRB Dray’s 2025 welcome message. It was mixed by the singer and mastered by talented sound engineer QID Korle.
