Karen Nyame KG ft: Taliwhoah - Mantra (Single)

The aptly dubbed ‘Goddess of Rhythm’, KG, shares the glorious, emotive roller ‘Mantra’ ft. Taliwhoah. Teaming up with the acclaimed London-born, LA-based r&b artist, this is the third single from KG’s sensational, genre-blending forthcoming EP Sensei II dropping 25th June via Black Acre Records. Garnering widespread support from the likes of Resident Advisor, Crack, Mixmag, DJ Mag, The Independent and more with recent afrobeat summer bop ‘Koko’ with fellow British-Ghanaian artist Mista Silva and the rich, frenetic ‘Nzinga’, a collab with South African afro-rave pioneer Toya Delazy, new single ‘Mantra’ is a laidback, sun-kissed love song. A heady blend of Taliwhoah’s luscious vocals, shimmery pads and KG’s signature rolling percussion, Mantra is another truly incredible collaboration, highlighting KG’s versatility and artistic mastery - hence the title ‘Sensei’.

Speaking on the single, KG says: 

“‘Mantra’ -  a person's slogan, strong belief etc. In this song, Taliwhoah affirms that she is intentional with who she loves, she feels real things. This track has Future House/R&B remnants - we wanted to make this a euphoric roller for the listener to vibe to, to relate to. It is a love song.”
