MOLOMBO delivers an insightful global rhythm with “Starstruck”
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.

El Vrother turns negativity into strength on new single “My Biggest Fan”
“My Biggest Fan” is a powerful, insightful, and surprisingly uplifting song. It’s a Latin-infused hip-hop anthem that puts a new spin on turning negativity into strength. El Vrother’s latest track is about redemption, growth, and being real.
This was inspired by a real-life event in which a listener admitted to posting hateful comments about El Vrother’s work for years before becoming a steadfast supporter. The ironic and human change gave the song its creative spark, and El Vrother didn’t get back at anyone or ignore the problem. Instead, he turned it into art, which shows that even anger can change when faced with honesty and sincerity.
The song has a unique sound that is both authentic and powerful, blending sharp Latin rhythms with a hip-hop foundation. His story shows how music that comes from real struggles, real life, and real feelings can have a significant effect. It is an artistic position that runs counter to the negative trends common in modern music charts. “My Biggest Fan” is a statement that authentic storytelling will always be important.
El Vrother uses the song to show that music can change people’s minds, break down walls, and start real change. He thinks of the song as proof that music can change how people feel. This is a response to the widespread culture of hate online. El Vrother improves the conversation in “My Biggest Fan” and gives us a piece with purpose, a beat, and an effect.
