Elangeni – Original Mix
Strutting with a balanced blend of freshness and elegance, Naji Arun & Soul Star’s ‘Elangeni’ runs over a tight frame as synthetic bubbles rise, attaching themselves to the singer’s smokey vocal chops with the duo setting the ambiance for a most wondrous journey. As we become entranced in its hypnotic hue, Soul Star gifts us with a smoldering delivery that subdues all of our pains, washing over us like warm balsam. Expanding beyond the traditional confines of the dancefloor, “Elangeni” is a soul-stirring work of art that feels alive at every twist and turn.
Mane – Original Mix
On the follow-up, ‘Mane,’ Naji Arun & Soul Star go for a meandering bassline, setting a darker frame as dusky vocals emerge from the shadows, filling the piece with unbridled energy. Tight in its hold, the track contorts across gritty mid-section sonics while tension rises before presenting us with a striking breakdown. Here, Soul Star’s contagious guttural expressions interlock seamlessly with its rave-laced lead sequence for a spine-tingling thrill, resuming its imperious pace with maximum impact and dazzling flair.
Naji Arun & Soul Star – Elangeni EP is out now on ICONYC.
