Fast-rising Nigerian vocalist, talented songwriter and producer Soundz hooks up with genre-bending vocal sensation Kold AF on a deeply seductive romance track named “Blind”.
This arresting combination comes at a time when modern Afrobeats and R&B lovers are craving brooding, slow-burning duets that explore the irresistible grip of passion and passionate surrender. Soundz has always been a double threat on the mic and on the boards. It’s an easy spark to light, melding Kold AF into his aural realm, the juxtaposition of his velvety smoothness with her jagged, complex melodies unpacking the dizzying sense of being totally blinded by love.
The self-helmed production conjures a sumptuous, slow-burning soundscape grounded by delicate loops of acoustic guitar, warm chords of keyboard, and ambient textures of synth. A delicate mid-tempo Afro-fusion drum bounce flows softly underneath a fluid bassline that keeps the mesmerizing groove without upsetting the intimate, late-night mood. Meanwhile, the clean sound production gives plenty of breathing space, allowing both vocalists to float front and center with flawless clarity.
Soundz leads the early verses with his distinctive silky register, seamless melodic cadences, and well-seasoned pitch control. He glides through the calm tempo with ease, showering real warmth on every line, creating a welcoming, romantic mood from the very first drop. His slick play sets up a hot exchange.
Kold AF comes into the joint to boost the record with her unique, smoky vocal texture, smooth swagger, and soulful runs. The lyrics are very much about all-consuming infatuation, losing rational control when a lover is there, and preferring to be deaf to outside sounds as long as the chemistry is there. With sympathetic wording and an appealing primary hook, they turn a private statement of yearning into a universal hymn for lovers everyplace.
Everything comes together perfectly throughout this record to provide a complete, highly pleasant listening experience. The lush, soulful production matches their vocal synergy step for step over the full run-time.
Definitely add this relaxing, feel-good track to your late-night meditation and weekend date nite playlists today. Listen to “Blind” on all digital music streaming platforms now!
