Cape Verdean singer Josslyn has released her latest single, “Baby Mama” — an intense, melodic kizomba track about a woman choosing peace, self-love, and freedom.
The song arrives with a visualizer filmed in São Vicente, Cape Verde, directed by the Kriol Box collective and produced by Débora Melício.
“Nka kre ser bo baby mama” (“I don’t want to be your baby mama”) is not an attack — it’s a choice. It’s a declaration from someone who refuses to remain in a space that no longer reflects who she is.
“I wrote this song at a time when I needed to remind myself that I deserve better. That we, as women, deserve better. That we have the right to say no, to walk away, to start again. This song is about that — knowing our worth and choosing what’s good for us,” says Josslyn.
Josslyn is also set to make her film debut in the Angolan movie “Maldito Amor”, the country’s first horror feature film. She stars alongside acclaimed actor Sílvio Nascimento.
