Karyendasoul Drops His Debut Album, 'We Live 4 Our Music'

Eastern-Cape born producer and DJ, Karyendasoul released his debut album, ‘We Live 4 Our Music’.

The 10-track body of work includes contributions from Zakes Bantwini, Ami Faku, Simmy, Msaki and more.

Karyendasoul kicks off the project with the title track, ‘WL4OM’; a captivating song with soaring vocals over a deep and shuffling Afro house beat. 

'Waves of Mercy' with Miči is a sublime six-minute slow burner that builds through cosmic ambient pads and silky vocals. 'Umthandazo' with Ami Faku again shows off Karyendasoul's deft production skills with elegant drum sounds and rich synths topped off by the sort of vocals that melt the soul.

'Something More' has intimate vocal whispers over icy hi-hats and house grooves peppered with delicate percussion.

'Mngani wami' comprises a mix of lithe rhythms, starry melodies, and shimmering vocals. The same delightfully uplifting and warm vocal Afro sounds continue through 'Umoya' with Zakes Bantwini. 

The song 'Fragile' is one of sheer melodic beauty as the cascading keys rain down over steely. 'Jacaranda' brings the positive and uplifting vibes whilst 'Juba' delivers more inspired and cosmic Afro house soul. 

Karyendasoul's solo cut, 'The Chosen One' closes down the album with nine deeply intense drums and spiritual synth motifs backed by increasingly upright snares and empowering energy.
