The Rendezvous - Kurtis Powers // 01-10-23

Free Download

Rah That's A Mad Disco Edit

This track is Wakanda meets Fela Kuti with a south London accent, blending afrobeat rhythms with futuristic, video game-inspired sounds to celebrate the power of community and kinship. This track is the first track off my upcoming concept album due in May 2025.

The track features Jay Phelps and Nathaniel Cross. Produced by DJ Harrsn (whose remix of "God Is Trying" was Annie Mac’s Hottest Record), it builds to lush strings and a heartfelt voice note from gospel choir director Daniel Thomas. Reflecting on finding your tribe,

“It’s about connecting with those who truly see you and push you to grow.”
