With the weather having taken a cooler and much-welcomed turn this weekend, many of us have switched into winter-like mode meaning that we have our sights set on those highly anticipated cold nights sounds. Should you be looking for some tunes to accompany those nights, look no further than the Minnesota-based Libianca and her new remix for “People” (feat. Ayra Starr and Omah Lay) the song which is a blend of R&B and Afrobeat elements.
Standing as her triumphant entry, the global tune is effortlessly infectious in nature as the singer’s African roots shine through in the rhythmic production. And, with Ayra Starr’s vocals, which have featured on massive projects such as Creed III’s Ogogoro, gracing the track and encouraging those who hear it to dance with her soft yet mesmerizing tone, the song is made all the more impressive.
“I was going through a lot during Thanksgiving week and felt so unseen – nobody noticed what was going on. I remember thinking, I have to stay consistent with my content on social media, so I can’t afford to sit around in my emotions right now. So I walked past my room to the studio, found a beat, and recorded it,” explains Libianca.
This latest tune follows the original release which was shared at the close of 2022, People is currently #13 in the OCC UK Official Charts; has maintained #1 in the OCC UK Official Afrobeats Charts for 5 weeks; has amassed over 110 million streams; 19 million views; over 1.1million TikTok creations and continues to grow across markets around the world.
And, with spring in full swing and the multi-talented artist recharged and re-inspired from her journey to discover her heritage, it is safe to say that we can expect more afrobeat bangers from Libianca very soon.
