Basking on his massive streams, CKay Drops Two New Songs, “EMILIANA” and “By Your Side” featuring Blxckie.
EMO-Afrobeat Artist, CKay comes through with a smooth mid-tempo Afro-fusion record titled “Emiliana“. Produced by himself and BMH.
Africa`s boyfriend – Chukwuka “CKay” Ekweani (@ckay_yo) is the Nigerian artist behind the international hit “Love Nwantiti.” The track initially went viral this past summer via unauthorized remixes and uncredited usage, even inspiring a dance challenge.
Now, the song is bringing recognition and reward to its writer, singer and producer CKay. “Love Nwantiti” is on its way to becoming the biggest song in the world as it is one of the most streamed Afrobeats record on YouTube and Spotify.
“When I make music, it`s like I`m immortalizing the experiences and people I sing about,” says CKay. “I was in love and I literally freestyled the song in my living room back in 2019. ”˜Love Nwantiti` means ”˜small love` in Igbo ”” my native language. The other parts of the song are in pidgin English.
I call my genre emo-Afrobeats, because I put a lot of my emotional energy into it. My music is like my diary. I talk about my romantic experiences and people from all around the world are connecting with that. I`m proud of the fact that a failed relationship that had me heartbroken for months turned into something that is moving hearts around the whole world.”
With a flair for fusing Afrobeats with a touch of pop, psychedelic ambience, CKay is one Nigerian fast rising star that shows his creative genius but still remains one for the ladies. He proves his multiple singing talent and pen game once again on this new single – “EMILIANA”.
For those that experienced his fusion magic on the singles; ‘Felony’ & ‘Kiss Me Like You Miss Me’, “Emiliana” is about to set your playlist on fire. Enjoy below
