With expert mixing and mastering by Big Rula, MOLOMBO’s new single “Starstruck” boasts impeccable production quality, seamlessly blending genres and influences to deliver a captivating auditory experience. The sound is crisp and layered, allowing each element to shine without overshadowing the others. While drawing influence from Amadou & Mariam’s “Dougou Badia,” MOLOMBO masterfully bridges the gap between African rhythms and Western melodies, infusing a modern edge that feels refreshingly novel and timeless.
The track unfolds with an enchanting mix of hypnotic guitar riffs, swirling synths, and haunting vocals, instantly transporting audiences to another sonic realm. This etherealing introduction establishes the foundation for a rich, evocative soundscape courtesy of an international ensemble featuring a Harlem-based guitarist, a pianist and choir from Nigeria, and a Cameroonian vocal chanter collectively breathing life into the intricate fabric of sound.
As the chilled Afropop groove drops, you’re pulled deeper into MOLOMBO’s world. His melodic freestyle, inspired by Bob Dylan’s “Only a Pawn in Their Game,” is both haunting and thought-provoking, weaving a tapestry of social commentary that resonates with the struggles of marginalized communities. The vibrant African indie pop and hip-hop elements balance the lyrical depth of MOLOMBO’s multidisciplinary artistry, reflecting marginalized communities’ struggles and echoing the global consciousness that defines much of his work.
“Starstruck” proves MOLOMBO’s growing prowess as a Congolese-American artist to create sonically pleasing and significant music. It’s a track you’ll want to revisit again and again that invites listeners to dance and reflect, making it a standout addition to the Afropop genre.
