KG teams up with Taliwhoah on glorious sun-kissed love song

And announces Sensei II EP launch party with Ikonika, Tash LC, Mista Silva and more

The aptly dubbed ‘Goddess of Rhythm’, KG, shares the glorious, emotive roller ‘Mantra’ ft. Taliwhoah. Teaming up with the acclaimed London-born, LA-based r&b artist, this is the third single from KG’s sensational, genre-blending forthcoming EP Sensei II dropping 25th June via Black Acre Records. Garnering widespread support from the likes of Resident Advisor, Crack, Mixmag, DJ Mag, The Independent and more with recent afrobeat summer bop ‘Koko’ with fellow British-Ghanaian artist Mista Silva and the rich, frenetic ‘Nzinga’, a collab with South African afro-rave pioneer Toya Delazy, new single ‘Mantra’ is a laidback, sun-kissed love song. A heady blend of Taliwhoah’s luscious vocals, shimmery pads and KG’s signature rolling percussion, Mantra is another truly incredible collaboration, highlighting KG’s versatility and artistic mastery – hence the title ‘Sensei’.

Speaking on the single, KG says:

“‘Mantra’ –  a person’s slogan, strong belief etc. In this song, Taliwhoah affirms that she is intentional with who she loves, she feels real things. This track has Future House/R&B remnants – we wanted to make this a euphoric roller for the listener to vibe to, to relate to. It is a love song.”

Dropping 25th June Sensei II is a powerful, sunshine-filled EP with five emotive tracks, covering everything from the empowerment of women, to love, sexuality and desire, high vibrations, partying and beyond. Collaborating with a host of incredible artists including Aymos, Toya Delazy, Taliwhoah and Mista Silva, sonically, the project spans Afrobeats, UK Funky, Gqom, R&B and beyond. Her sound firmly rooted in the African diaspora, KG wanted the essence of ‘back home’ to be felt throughout the whole project.

Marking the release of Sensei II, on the 2nd July, KG will celebrate the release with an all-star line up in East London’s gorgeous rooftop spot, NT’s Loft. Expect the vibrant, sun-soaked sounds of Amapiano, Gqom, Afrobeats, UK Funky, and more, with Hyperdub icon Ikonika, radio sweetheart and revered global sounds selector Tash LC (NTS/Worldwide FM/Kiss FM), the UK’s leading Afro House DJ Kitty Amor, and KG herself bringing Mista Silva along on hosting duties. Guaranteed good vibes, this is not one to miss! Tickets are available here: https://link.dice.fm/VfNwKWL4kgb
