Afrobeats icon Lisa Yaro is back with her second release of the year, ‘Mahogany’. Blending together the bold extroversion of afrobeat and the spellbinding nature of R&B, the single's slick production and irresistible feel are set to cement Yaro as one of the most promising young names in her field.
Right from the get-go, the intoxicating rhythm that encapsulates the track bursts out of the speakers, bolstering Lisa Yaro as one of the most exciting talents in her game. I could go on for days and hours on end about just how infectious this release is, everything down to the pulsating percussion and sleek melodies help to forge something that feels unique and vivid.
Feeling creatively inspired by her upbringing and her homeland, the new release is a track that stays close to Yaro’s heart. Speaking about the track, she adds, ”Mahogany is a song rooted in love. With Hausa-infused lyrics, I wanted to show my love and appreciation for my homeland.”
Recognised by the Recording Academy as a rising star in the Afrobeats game, Lisa Yaro has been presented with opportunities to bring her talents to the international stage alongside artists such as will.i.am and Mya. Yaro is certainly a name to remember, and one to watch for the future.
