Bnnyhunna - COMMUNICATE (Single)

Following on from the release of his single ‘Calm Waters’ earlier this year, Dutch-Ghanaian artist Bnnyhunna is releasing his new single ‘COMMUNICATE’, out now.

Featuring collaborations with acclaimed Jembaa Groove and the celebrated Nigerian sibling duo The Cavemen, this track marks a pivotal moment in Bnnyhunna’s musical journey as he leads up to the release of his debut album, Echoes of Prayer, on October 11th.

COMMUNICATE’ delves into the nuanced and often complex nature of communication within relationships. It explores how failing to express ourselves openly and honestly can create misunderstandings that weaken the very connections we value most. Blending elements of Afrobeat, jazz, and contemporary rhythms, the track captures the delicate dance between transparency and tension in our interactions. With its thoughtful lyrics, ‘COMMUNICATE’ is a poignant reminder that effective communication is the foundation of any healthy relationship, whether personal or professional.

This release not only highlights Bnnyhunna’s distinct sound but also introduces a significant chapter in his upcoming album Echoes of Prayer, which reflects on the profound reverberations our actions and words have on those around us. In ‘COMMUNICATE’, Bnnyhunna encourages listeners to engage in deeper conversations, fostering genuine connections through honesty and self-expression.

Collaborators Jembaa Groove and The Cavemen add their unique influences to the track. Jembaa Groove, a multicultural band founded by bass player and composer Yannick Nolting and singer-percussionist Eric Owusu, brings a dynamic fusion of West African rhythms and jazz-inspired grooves. Their global approach to music fits seamlessly with the message of ‘COMMUNICATE’.

The Cavemen, known for their revival of highlife music, have built a dedicated cult following through their electric live performances across their homeland of Nigeria. Their experimentation and nostalgic sound have garnered critical acclaim, with both of their LP releases being praised for reintroducing the essence of highlife music to a modern audience.

After developing a deep-rooted passion for music, Bnnyhunna initially emerged as a touring musician and producer for notable artists such as Jose JamesRimon, and Gaidaa. Over the years, he has established himself as a versatile creator, eager to share his own unique message through his music. His artistry is deeply introspective, often drawing on his personal experiences to tell stories that resonate with a global audience.

The release of ‘COMMUNICATE’ drops ahead of Bnnyhunna’s London performance as part of the Steamdown Weekly series at Peckham Levels, taking place on 18th September.

With the release of ‘COMMUNICATE’, Bnnyhunna showcases his evolving artistry and the weight of his personal journey. His multifaceted talent continues to grip listeners across Europe, with ‘COMMUNICATE’ serving as the second instalment in a series of releases leading up to the debut of Echoes of Prayer.
