With “show u luv”, South African rapper and singer Blxckie embraces his R&B roots to craft a tender love joint. “It’s hard-hitting, but more in a romantic, R&B way,” Blxckie tells Apple Music. “The drums are big, the drums are prominent, but then the vocal sample is a very nostalgic R&B joint [India.Arie’s ‘The Truth’]. I’ve always been known to fit in some R&B or some singing in any project, no matter how hip-hop it is. It’s like a different side of me. This is just speaking on my current relationship, really celebrating the love that we have and how it’s grown.” Listen to “show u luv” on Africa Now, the playlist that brings together the sounds of the continent, from hip-hop, highlife, Afrobeats and alté to house, Afrobongo and kuduro—and if you hear something you like, add it to your library.
