Kenya: Liboi shares Yule single

‘Yule’, meaning "[I want] that one" in Swahili, is a soulful expression of love. Liboi’s velvety vocals and emotive delivery create a captivating listening experience, drawing listeners into a world of passion and romance.

“‘Yule’ delves into the realms of love and affection, capturing a deep desire to be with someone you view as your soulmate,” Liboi said. “It’s an expressive proclamation of feelings, acknowledging the heart yearns for what it wants, and the secret lies in making it work.”

Adding to the allure of ‘Yule’ is its music video featuring Kenyan Luo folk-fusion singers Coster Ojwang and Joy Bande. Their on-screen chemistry elevates the visual narrative, enhancing the overall appeal of the song. The video is a visual feast, driven by cinematography that complements the track’s romantic spirit. Shot in Kisumu at Dunga Hill, the video pays homage to Liboi’s scenic and inspiring home region.

“With Valentine’s Day just around the corner, ‘Yule’ might just be the perfect soundtrack for lovers looking to celebrate their connection,” Liboi’s team said. “Liboi’s ability to convey deep emotions through her music makes ‘Yule’ a timeless addition to any romantic playlist.”

Liboi’s journey in the music industry has been marked by a commitment to authenticity and a passion for storytelling through music. ‘Yule’ continues to showcase her growth as an artist, solidifying her place as a rising star in the African contemporary music scene. She released her sophomore EP Safari in November.
