Toyin Ores’ next single ‘KOKOSĘ’ (featuring The Cavemen) is a beautiful blend of Afrofusion, Afropop and Highlife that explores the wonders of love and the things we do because of it.
In his newest single ‘KOKOSĘ’ Toyin Ores brings forth a different side of himself. Confidently flanked by The Cavemen, a two-person Neo-Highlife band (made up of Kingsley Okorie and Benjamin James) that has taken over the Nigerian music scene with their unique take of Highlife, Soul, and Afrobeat.
With production contributions from Waveman03, Toyin Ores, and The Cavemen, the song has layers of musical complexity made simple. The record starts with vocal ambiance rendered by Knote (Kingsley Okorie) and soulful chords played on an electronic keyboard by waveman03, all followed by infectious shakers that rhythmically usher you into the song.
As he starts off the first verse, Toyin Ores expresses his need to not rush things, especially when it comes to love. Backing him up in words and in flow is the brilliant Benjamin James who slides in on the next verse singing about a type of love that unravels minds “ This your love a bakala m isi, nwanyi nka… ”. The hook and bridge flow into the mix easily with some more vocal ambience, live samples, live bass from Waveman03 and Kingsley Okorie, and rich jazz keys to close out the track.
‘KOKOSĘ’ by Toyin Ores, featuring The Cavemen is out on all platforms on August 05, 2022.
