Rising Ghanaian Afrobeats artist, Darkovibes has released a new single dubbed, ‘Inna Song (Gin & Juice)’ which features King Promise.

In the new song which is off his upcoming album ‘Kpanlogo’, Darkovibes seems to be so much in love with his imaginary woman.

“I put all the energy you give me in a song. All the good vibes you give me in a song, I put all the loving that you give me into everything. My pretty little thing, see I'll never never never never,” he sang.

The acclaimed singer, songwriter, and producer has garnered regional success with singles like ‘Tomorrow’ and ‘Stay Woke’ has been an integral player in the growing success of La Même Gang, a collective of budding superstars based in Ghana who is ushering the new wave of alternative Afrobeats that includes Darkovibes, $pacely, Kiddblack, RJZ, Kwaku BS and Nxwrth.

As the musical landscape in Ghana continues to shift, there are few standouts like Darkovibes who are poised to take over for the next generation. Most recently, The FADER recognized him as “revolutionizing the way we see life in Ghana, helping to bridge the representation gap between Africa and the rest of the world” with Notion Magazine citing him as “the muse for this progression.”

Darkovibes' music defies genre and his effortless ability to merge many languages – including English, Pidgin, Ga, and Twi – into a contemporary sound has earned him co-signs from some of Africa's most sought after artists, including WizKid, Mr Eazi, R2bees, and Stonebwoy.

As he prepares to release his debut solo album ‘Kpanlogo’ next month, Darkovibes is fusing his tried-and-tested sound with experimental approaches that will continue to push the envelope of Afrobeats music. The forthcoming debut solo album ‘Kpanlogo,’ is due out for release on Friday, April 3 and features the likes of Wizkid, Mr. Eazi, Kwesi Arthur, and Joey B.
