Actions speak louder than words, and Jo Jodun makes that known on her self-produced and self-written single, FUNANDGAMES. Jo Jodun sweeps you up into a slow, jazzy tranquilly, releasing a lover who failed to keep his word, inevitably bringing the story to a bitter end. It's the epitome of today's casual dating scene. If unbothered and facade had a sound, FUNANDGAMES would be it, with Jo's distinctively purging vocals that scream 'I know my self-worth; I'm over this'. "When I first recorded this song over a year ago, I named the track 'nazty'. I think it’s funny how producers just know the vibe of a song before it’s created. I wanted the listener to make a stank face and throw their head back and forth the same way I did when I played those chords. I love the way music evokes such a physical response from the mind and body and can make you really feel the story of a track." - Jo Jodun It'll be a whole lot of the above as you take in the flow of intentional chords that Jo cooked up while she sings "I'ma die looking for a better you, but that's a disguise; it just wasn't true". FUNANDGAMES is one of the tracks off her upcoming project, which will be a small catalogue of tracks that Jo Jodun has been curating for the past 3 years.

The stars seem to have aligned on Zuhair's newest release, Intimate, featuring Abel Firew, and we're so damn into it. Intimate is the first single off of Zuhair's EP: Sunflowers, Peonies & Lavender, which, may we add, is named after his girl's favourite flower choice *fangirling. Zuhair's alluringly smooth vocals are richly complemented by Abel Firew's sensual ad libs over a slow, steamy sound of seduction, produced by a2k. It's a strikingly contemporary R&B slow jam, backed by piano love keys, gently descriptive lyrics written by Zuhair, and syrupy tones that transport you into a smokin' hot bedroom haven. Singing about his desire to love his girl down, Zuhair showers the melody with love, bringing a heat that leaves no room for anything less. "Intimate is essentially meant to be a bouquet of flowers in the form of music. This particular track is a sultry bedroom song about making love." - Zuhair. Zuhair's EP, Sunflowers, Peonies, & Lavender produced by a2k, is available on all streaming platforms.
