Afropop Round-up 2022-2023

Just over a year ago  I did round-up of the Afropop (African popular music, also known as Afrobeats) posts on the blog (follow-up to my 2019 and 2021 round-ups). You can see that here: https://starsparklex.blogspot.com/2022/10/afropop-round-up-2021-2022.html

Karun- Only You | A COLORS SHOW

And here is a song I haven't previously shared! :) This is Only You, the new single by Kenyan singer and songwriter Karun. She recently performed it live for COLORS, in collaboration with Spotify Africa. COLORSXSTUDIOS is a music platform which showcases music from around the world.

Only You is an English language song with chilled, R'n'B vibes. The video premiered on 30th October.
