Spirit Animal Records announces the release of ‘Seme’ — the highly anticipated new single from Afro House Producers Will B and Kobina Akin, featuring the unique vocals of Idd Aziz. Arriving alongside an official music video, now available on YouTube, the release also includes a Dub version of the production and a remix by Ebz Agg, offering alternative takes for deeper listening. As the track arrives via Will B’s own label, it follows the pair’s previous collaboration, ‘Shy’, and appears poised to build on the success of their February release, delivering yet another powerful and uplifting musical experience for listeners.

Will B, a seasoned veteran with over 20 years of DJ and music production experience, brings a wealth of knowledge to this project. Formerly a record label manager for eclectic label Casual Records and House label Need2Soul, his expertise is evident in the track’s polished production. For this release, Will B once again collaborates with Kobina Akin, the moniker of Mick Wilson, known for his DJ and production work as one half of Parks and Wilson.

‘Seme’ comes as a meticulously crafted melodic Afro House track, giving way to an immersive sonic journey for listeners. Will B and Kobina Akin’s production expertise shines through with its emphatic chord progressions and dynamic crescendos, ensuring a compelling listening experience from start to finish. Idd Aziz’s expressive and distinct vocals, sung in both Kiswahili and his native Rabai language, add a layer of depth and authenticity to the track, enriching the overall sound as interwoven lines weave amongst the soundscape, balancing against the rich instrumental arrangement of lively arpeggiators and sharp percussive elements.

The lyrics of ‘Seme’ explore themes of personal growth and resilience, addressing the challenges of self-improvement amidst adversity. The powerful chorus which translates to ‘Let them talk. Let me do action,’ serves as a declaration of unwavering determination. This empowering message, combined with the track’s infectious rhythms, cement ‘Seme’ to become an instant anthem for listeners seeking inspiration and motivation and a standout addition to the growing discographies of each collaborator.

Adding to the allure of the release is a refreshing remix by East London’s Ebz Agg. Known for his distinctive sound, Ebz Agg delivers a dark and minimal Afro Tech interpretation of ‘Seme,’ offering a contrasting yet equally compelling perspective. His remix provides a deeper, more atmospheric take on the original track, showcasing the track’s versatility and providing listeners with another intricately constructed soundscape to discover.

When speaking on the release, Will B mentions:

“We are incredibly excited to share ‘Seme’ with the world. This collaboration brings together a wealth of experience and passion, and we believe it will resonate deeply with listeners.”

Kobina Akin adds:

“This track represents the journey of self-improvement. We are very happy with the result.”

For Idd Aziz:

“‘Seme’ is a song about staying true to yourself and focusing on your own path. I hope it inspires people to embrace their own growth and strength.”
