19-year-old afrowave sensation Darkoo is back today with ‘She Like’ her collaboration with rising star Blanco. This single comes alongside the announcement of her debut 2 In 1 EP, which arrives 16 July on Atlantic Records.
After releasing the Official Charts Company’s Afrobeat track of 2020 with ‘Gangsta’ with One Acen, she’s been continuing to impress fans. The artists prove to be a good match, effortlessly switching between rapping and singing and bringing together their signature sounds. Here’s what Darkoo says about the track:
“It’s just a feel good track about letting the boys know what a girl likes. Today everybody wants the finer things in life, they want to live the high life. You can be a rapper, a hustler or a banker but all a girl really wants is to be treated nice regardless of the guy’s background, she knows what she likes.”
Her debut EP will explore her African roots and her London upbringing, with all of the sounds that have influenced her:
“This is a body of work that truly represents who I am. I’ve merged my two cultures, where I came from and where I am now encompassing my journey from Lagos to London. It’s literally 2 In 1”.
2 In 1 arrives 16 July on Atlantic Records.
