Essex-based vocalist Konyikeh has unveiled her latest single, 'Sit Down', a track that captures a pure form of soul, influenced by her Cameroonian and Jamaican heritage. With only a few tracks released online, this single marks a significant moment in her artistic maturity. The new song comes on the heels of Konyikeh's recent touring with renowned artists Sam Smith and Tems.
Written during the pandemic in 2020, 'Sit Down' not only showcases Konyikeh's songwriting skills but is also notable for her collaboration with Brixton-based producer Srigala, who helped to shape the song's sound. Konyikeh explains, "I wrote 'Sit Down' in 2020, during the pandemic, and it was one of my first collaborations with a producer." Lyrically, the song explores three perspectives: a girlfriend who feels out of place, a mother who compares her to an ex, and a boyfriend caught in the middle. The instrumentation features guitar and violin, adding a unique dimension to this tongue-in-cheek reflection on a relatable situation.
Listeners can tune in to 'Sit Down' now and experience Konyikeh's evolving sound, with a promising trajectory ahead in her music career.
