Rising independent Tanzania artist Itaré has released “Where You Want” featuring Kane Keid, South Africa’s genre-blending hitmaker and Joh Makini, one of Tanzania’s most respected lyrical heavyweights and an OG in the game – available to stream worldwide.
“Where You Want” is a melodic fusion of smooth Afro-pop and rap, taking listeners through a fresh sound and a storyline exploring love, escapism and vulnerability, with verses delivered in Swahili and English, reflecting the diversity of the collaborators.
The synergy between the artists is undeniable. Itaré delivers smooth, heartfelt melodies laced with longing and charm. Kane Keid adds a distinctly South African flavor with his suave lyricism and laid-back charisma. Meanwhile, Joh Makini, ever the master wordsmith, anchors the track with poetic Swahili verses that reaffirm his status as a lyrical cornerstone of East African hip-hop.
Ahead of the release, Itaré shared, “We’re not just crossing borders; we’re bridging cultures and timelines. This collaboration represents a new Africa–young, bold and connected,” adding on his excitement regarding his upcoming music project, “I am looking forward to sharing my debut EP with you all soon. It’s a project not only showcasing my style and emotional depth but will take Tanzania and East Africa to the world.”
In an era where African music continues to transcend borders, “Where You Want” stands out as a powerful cultural moment. This new single unites three dynamic forces in a collaboration that blends passion, artistry and continental flair.
“Where You Want” is now available on all major streaming platforms. Stay tuned for Itaré self-titled EP, dropping in 2025, pre-save link here
