How we stan a diverse queen, and Tanzanian-American artist kezia is proving herself a whole mélange of influences. Citing artists as varied as My Chemical Romance and Fela Kuti, the Bay Area native changes tack with new single “south!”, switching the hazy guitar and infatuation of previous outing “megan fox” for chunky beats and unbridled lust.
Teaming up with rising British-Indian rapper NAYANA IZ, “south!”, too, conjures a lucid atmosphere with its densely doused production, clear keys cutting through reverberating bass like a blade through dough. Between the two, both kezia and NAYANA IZ celebrate self-empowerment – whether that be in one’s own liberated sexuality or the confidence in which they live their life.
