CHARMAINE Team Up With Kali on New track “SIZZLE”

Following on from the recent release of rising hip-hop superstar Charmaine’s debut EP, the Canadian-Zimbabwean artist is upping the ante with three new additions to create her Hood Avant Garde Deluxe EP.

This includes sensual Latin-dance inspired track ‘A MI MANERA’ featuring Warner Music Latin artist VALENTINO and ‘SIZZLE’ featuring Atlanta rapper KALI, plus remix of ‘DON’T CARE’ now titled ‘WE DON’T CARE’ featuring Toronto rapper HAVIAH MIGHTY.

Her debut tape was packed with multidimensional, playful and boasty must-rewind songs. In true Charmaine fashion, she’s rounded up a stellar trio of artists to up the ante on her electrifying debut EP with three new offerings that are sure to be a part of your summer playlist.

Haviah Mighty impresses on ‘WE DON’T CARE’ that showcases her and Charmaine’s unapologetic confidence and musical style that uplifts listeners. Latin sensation Valentino blends perfectly with Charmaine’s luscious vocals, showcasing her versatility and singing abilities on ‘A MI MANERA’. Finally, ‘SIZZLE’ featuring Kali is a confidence-boosting track that makes female listeners feel BOLD while embracing their sexuality.

“I am beyond excited,” Charmaine says of her deluxe offering. “Haviah Mighty, Valentino and Kali killed their verse and the world is going to hear that. It was super important for me to have international representation for my deluxe project. I cannot wait to see how everyone responds to it! I want everyone to feel GOOD and ready to get back into the open world we so dearly missed.”
