From Afrobeats to amapiano and gqom to Afro-soul, the sounds of Africa have captured the hearts of music fans everywhere. Africa To The World celebrates the hottest artists from across the continent, and this week that means the “Arike (Remix)” from Kunmie. The Nigerian singer-songwriter made his name earlier this year with the release of “Arike”, a song that took him from a reported 200 TikTok followers to 220,000 and growing. Its release inspired heaps of covers and unofficial duets, but Kunmie himself had plans for who else he’d want to hear on the track. The singer intensifies the “Arike (Remix)” with a woman’s perspective—two to be specific—adding features from Nigerian singer and actor Simi and UK R&B star Mabel. The pair make “Arike” even sultrier, delivering a remix sure to keep lovers entertained throughout the rest of the year and beyond. Listen to it on Africa To The World and if you hear something you like, add it to your library.
