Sudanese rapper, singer, and songwriter Mvndila is back in the spotlight with the release of his first project for 2025 — an effortlessly smooth R&B EP titled ‘Roshetta’. Packed with warm, laid-back energy, the project captures the essence of long summer nights, offering a breezy soundtrack for the season.
Born and raised between Sudan and Saudi Arabia, Mvndila has steadily built a reputation for blending deeply personal storytelling with experimental soundscapes. His music draws from a diverse palette of influences, fusing elements of classical Haqeeba music and country with hip-hop and R&B. The result is a signature sound that mirrors the complex realities of being a young Sudanese creative navigating modern life.
With ‘Roshetta‘, Mvndila charts a lighter, more carefree direction while still holding onto the depth and emotion that have defined his previous work. The EP’s title, a cheeky nod to his academic background in medicine sets a playful tone, but the music itself is far from sterile. Instead, it’s a soulful, free-spirited collection designed for easy listening and introspective moments alike.
Spread across four tracks, ‘Roshetta’ finds Mvndila experimenting with new flows and sonic textures. His effortless mix of rapping and singing glides over mellow, sun-soaked beats, creating a project that feels perfectly suited for late-night drives, lazy afternoons, and rooftop sessions. It’s a refreshing pivot that highlights his versatility and willingness to explore new artistic territories.
Production on the EP is handled by Zer0 and Wazic, while 7sn XOB takes charge of sound engineering, ensuring a polished, cohesive finish throughout. The producers weave together subtle reggaeton undertones with classic R&B melodies, delivering a modern, melodic soundscape that complements Mvndila’s emotive vocal delivery.
More than just another project, ‘Roshetta’ represents Mvndila’s evolution as an artist. It showcases his ability to step outside his usual boundaries, embracing feel-good vibes without losing the authenticity and introspection that resonate with his growing audience.
As the Nigerian and African alternative music scene continues to expand its influence globally, Mvndila’s ‘Roshetta’ is a testament to the power of artists telling their stories on their own terms, personal, experimental, and unapologetically rooted in their heritage.
