about

Aka Kelzz, the rising UK artist based in Berlin Germany, is excited to announce the release of their new song "Mango" with Ghanaian powerhouse Ria Boss. The song, which will be out on February 16, 2024, is a celebration of liberation, beauty, and self-acceptance.

"Mango" is a powerful and empowering track that tells the story of these two artists who initially met in April 2023 as panelists for EOTO and surprisingly again in Ghana in June 2023 for the Black Girls Glow organised by Poetra Ansantewa and MusicBoard Berlin. During this residency, Aka Kelzz experienced a profound sense of liberation.

Ria Boss describes the song as "tasting and feeling like liberation and beauty." She says it feels "like the softness of the sun on my skin and reminds me of how sweet life can be when we accept ourselves."

The song was inspired by Aka Kelzz's experience visiting Ghana for the first time during the summer of 2023. "I saw my reflection daily," They say. "This unlocked a new level of Black liberation for me, and I want to bring this sunshine and liberation back to folks all over the world."
Ria Boss, who is also featured on the track, adds, "This song is about embracing our beauty and power. It's about not being afraid to be who we are and to shine our light."

"Mango" is a must-listen for anyone who is seeking inspiration, empowerment, and good vibes. It's a song that will make you feel good about yourself and ready to take on the world.
The song will be out on all major streaming platforms on February 16, 2024.

lyrics

Sweetest Mango x4

I seen a new reality
Just like this sweet fruit can be
I am a new reality
Where you be looking just like me
I feel a new reality
Where mangos fall the tree
What is this new reality
No, I be looking just like me

Sweetest Mango
Sweetest Mango
Sweetest Mango (Glowing in your skin)
Sweetest Mango (You're so hard to resist)

I see my own reality
Joy fills up, all my days
Taking up, the sun rays
Can you feel it?
Can you taste it?
You’re so sweet

Sweetest Mango
Sweetest Mango
Sweetest Mango (Glowing in the suny your skin)
Sweetest Mango (You're so hard to resist)
