The rapper’s second release of the year, ‘Yolo,’ is a humble declaration that promises a reborn Kwesi Slay with deeper artistic resolve.
Born Bernard Kwesi Appiah, Kwesi Slay made his 2018 debut with “Seven,” featuring Kwesi Arthur.
He went on to release several collaborations with Medikal (‘Frass’), Quamina MP (‘Pussy Cat’), and Kuami Eugene (‘Follow Me’)
Early this year he returned from a seven year hiatus with the Afro-Soul single ‘Tuutu Doo.’
“I needed to disconnect to realign,” Kwesi Slay reveals. “My break was a period of recalibration and creative rebirth. I needed a break to gather strength to come back stronger. Through it all, I’ve lived, grown, and now, I’m ready to speak again, louder than ever before.”
Enter ‘Yolo,’ an Afrobeats anthem meant to reignite the artist’s passion for music. This upbeat track is centered on the universal truth: you only live once. Or as Kwesi Slay plainly puts it: “How you dey live today? Nobody dey care. If you die today? Nobody dey care.”
Italian pianist and composer Niel Lian has released his debut EP Resilience in a World of Fire which explores themes of fragility, distance, and belonging.
The EP consists entirely of solo piano pieces, each one tracing a step in a journey. From healing, to confronting fears, to moments of reaction and recognition.
The title track best defines its essence: a meditation on fragility, endurance, and the quiet forms of strength that hold us together when everything seems to be burning around us.
Niel Lian’s music brings together elements of classical tradition and contemporary minimalism, drawing inspiration from Chopin, Philip Glass, Wim Mertens, Max Richter, Nils Frahm, and the psychologically aware approach of Peter Gabriel.
