The Nigerian choral group Kabusa Oriental Choir, known for its ability to turn viral trends into spiritual polyphony, has released a new track ‘Folded’, a reimagining of the song of the same name by Kehlani. The track was produced by David Acekeyz. For those who have not been following: the choir has previously been featured on ‘Nomad’ by Dj Snake, ‘Falling Feels Like Flying’ by Anotr, and ‘Regntid’ by Tobias Rahim, has amassed tens of millions of streams with ‘Soso’, has received an award for best musical humor, and has even toured Poland, Switzerland, and France.

Heartbreak, Harmony, Vulnerability

-PurpleMistress

While Kehlani’s original is a confession of post-breakup regret, that unstable space between the desire to walk away and the realization that something valuable has been lost, Kabusa Oriental Choir amplifies this interpretation. The sound intensifies the vulnerability and intensity of the original song through layered harmonies and a flawless afrosoul groove. Kabusa Oriental Choir has transformed personal pain into a collective experience. Highly recommended!
