Amaka is ready for her close-up.
The eclectic singer once served as one-half of sister duo VanJess.
With the group having announced its disbanding last month, the 29-year-old is pressing forward on her own and she’s wasting no time showcasing her solo gravitas.
Rebranding as Amaka (a nod to her Nigerian heritage), the vocalist has teamed with 2x GRAMMY winner Kaytranada for her debut single ‘Crusin.’
A delicious slice of soulful dance, the track makes clear that Amaka is staking her own claim sonically.
Take a listen after the jump…
From the lush production to the Janet Jackson-inspired delivery, ‘Crusin” is a triumph.
