Rising Manchester singer, songwriter, and producer ROKU145 bursts into the ether with his brand new single and visuals to “Kumbali” – the first offering from his anticipated new EP releasing soon.
With an undeniable ability to fuse traditional Afro sounds with exotic, subtly technical melodies, the rising artist delivers in “Kumbali” an assertive afro-induced heater laced with compelling lyricism showcasing flashy cars, money and experiential wisdom. However the musical ability and subtle touches on the self-produced track hint at Roku’s deeper talents and ability, defining him in the landscape as a clearly multi-faceted prospect.
Working with the likes of DJ Cuoblon, Runtown and WizKid in Lagos, Nigeria, Roku’s natural ease with the mic balances a naturally charismatic charm and there’s a louche assuredness to his music that speaks to the heavyweight artists in his ecosystem at this early stage. Mark Roku as an exotic, assured new name in the landscape for 2021.
