Independent music project MENTAVIBE has released its new single, “Mbali Nawe,” an Afro-Soul track that explores longing, memory and emotional connection across physical distance.

The song features Swahili vocals over warm acoustic instrumentation and a downtempo rhythmic foundation. Its arrangement combines organic percussion with electronic production, creating a restrained backdrop for the vocal performance.

“Mbali Nawe,” which translates to “Far From You,” focuses on the emotional experience of being separated from someone while maintaining a sense of connection.

MENTAVIBE is the music project of German producer and songwriter Juergen Joe Bauer, whose work combines electronic production with organic instrumentation and Swahili vocals.

“Mbali Nawe” was released on September 11, 2026 and is available on streaming platforms.

MENTAVIBE has released “POA POA POA!”, an Afro-Pop and Afrobeats track that combines African-inspired rhythms with electronic production and lyrics in Swahili.

The title, which translates roughly to “Great!” or “Everything is fine,” reflects the song’s focus on letting go of anxiety and fear and staying present. The chorus includes the phrase “Huru Moyo Wako,” meaning “free your heart.”

Produced and written by Juergen Joe Bauer, the track pairs organic beats with electronic textures and pop-influenced production. The project’s music incorporates Swahili lyrics and African-inspired rhythms within a contemporary electronic setting.

MENTAVIBE is an independent music project created and produced by Bauer.
