Congolese RnB and Pop artist, Juliet Ariel joins forces with gifted producer Soa Mattrix (who recently remixed Usher & Pheelz’s Ruin) to release their latest single, AFRICA, via Virgin Music Group Africa. The single is a brazen fusion of Amapiano beats and pop melodies.
AFRICA is more than just a song; it’s a celebration of African femininity, a tapestry woven from rhythmic Amapiano grooves and seamless pop vocal sensibilities. Juliet Ariel draws inspiration from powerhouses like Selena Gomez, Ariana Grande, and Dua Lipa, and brings an Afro-pop flavor to a genre that resonates globally. On the other hand, Soa Mattrix delivers a tapestry of sounds that resonate with the soul in motion.
This cross-genre single is a love letter to African beauty, showcasing the continent’s charismatic charm and powerful spirit. Juliet Ariel composed this track especially for African girls, to imbue them with the radiance of their most confident, beautiful selves. It’s an anthem that encourages women everywhere to delight in their individuality and strength.
“When I wrote AFRICA, I envisioned a tune that would surround every African girl in an aura of grace and self-assurance. Working with Soa Mattrix, we wanted to blend the heartbeat of Amapiano with a pop narrative that invokes a sense of pride and joy. This song is for every girl who dances to the rhythm of her own dreams,” Juliet Ariel confides.
The synergy between Juliet and Mattrix is palpable, mixing cultures and styles to project African femininity onto the world’s stage. It’s a reimagining of music without borders – a testament to the universal language of rhythm and soul, pulsating from the heart of Africa to every corner of the earth.
