Sons of Sonix (SOS) release their newest track, ‘ALAFIA,’ a masterful blend of Afro-House and infectious Amapiano. Featuring the captivating vocals of Me.Tai, ‘ALAFIA’ is a modern interpretation of Brandy’s 2002 hit, ‘Full Moon,’ infused with a fresh, vibrant sound that celebrates resilience and peace.
‘ALAFIA’ delves into themes of personal growth and overcoming past love troubles. Me.Tai’s soulful vocals narrate a tale of learning lessons from a hurting situation, while embracing a positive, uplifting outlook. The term ‘ALAFIA’ is Yoruba for “good health” or “peace”, perfectly encapsulating the song’s message of moving forward with grace and strength. Produced by the talented double act Sons of Sonix, the track stands out as the leading single from their upcoming project.
Nigerian British-born pair, Sons of Sonix, comprised of Mikey Akin and Moses Samuels, have made significant strides in the music industry over the past 13 years. They have firmly established themselves as a powerhouse producer duo, recently transitioning to creating their own music. SOS are celebrated for their innovative production style and genre-blending sound. Their impressive track record includes producing hits and collaborating with global superstars like Justin Bieber, Ariana Grande, Jennifer Lopez, Wretch 32, Mel C and Stormzy. They continue to push the boundaries of music, solidifying their reputation as trailblazers in the industry.
When delving into their hopes for the song, Sons of Sonix said “This is a song for the listener to be encouraged that regardless of the outside elements, you can find peace within yourself. The ability to find peace within yourself even when people do all they can to trouble it; it’s one of the greatest strengths of humankind. Sampling Brandy’s iconic R’n’B record ‘Full Moon’, by collaborating with original producer Mike City was nothing but a blessing. This is the perfect co-signing for the debut of our leading artist Me.Tai.”
Their upcoming project, ‘Timezones and Tylenol,’ reflects their journey through travel, heritage, and success, capturing a timeless sound that blends Afro-R’n’B with contemporary influences. It’s due for release this summer!
‘ALAFIA’ by Sons of Sonix featuring Me.Tai is out now. Stay tuned for more ground-breaking music from SOS, featuring star-studded collaborations that promise to make this project a standout in their illustrious career.
