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.

Songwriters often draw from personal experience, but what makes Just a Daydream stand out is the way AMBER reshapes those experiences through imagination. Instead of presenting events exactly as they happened, she builds scenes that feel colourful, expressive and full of possibility, giving the songs a distinctive identity from the very beginning.
That approach reflects the idea behind the EP’s title. What begins as a passing thought or a hopeful fantasy gradually develops into something more tangible, carrying listeners through romance, longing, disappointment and, ultimately, self-acceptance. The songs remain connected by that thread, making the EP feel like one continuous conversation rather than a collection of separate ideas.
Musically, AMBER blends soul, jazz, funk and pop touches without allowing any one influence to dominate. The lively pulse of “Say What” explores the confusion that can grow from crossed wires, while “Aromatherapy” offers a gentler close, bringing the emotional journey to a place of calm reflection.
Working with producer Kipper Eldridge, AMBER has created a debut that places storytelling at its heart. Every musical choice supports the atmosphere of the songs, allowing the lyrics and performances to take centre stage. Out now through Now Listen, Just a Daydream is more than a collection of well-made tracks. It is an invitation into a creative world where imagination gives everyday emotions a fresh perspective and where even the smallest moments have a story worth telling.
