Congolese singer/songwriter Kami Leonne is not your typical artist. Having lived in over 5 countries, the genre-defying talent blends English, French, Spanish, Lingala, Arabic, and Hebrew over bass-heavy and modern trap-infused productions. It comes as no surprise that she’s been able to create her own distinctive sound, as she is often influenced and inspired by her unique upbringing. Emerging with refreshingly smooth and sultry vocals, she has been proclaimed as the Queen of “Silky Trap” and “AfroSilk”, as she makes every record she’s on sound as sweet as raw sugar. Kami is a true multidimensional being, creating a lane of her own amongst the new generation of African creatives taking their sound global.
Smooth tone, gentle vibrato, attractive octave range, and a consistent flowy soulful RnB instrumental make Kami Leonne “Deja Vu,” a Contemporary / RnB masterpiece that also offers a diverse production to keep things soulful, vulnerable, and emotional.
“Deja Vu” is something different coming from Kami Leonne corner, fusing together a catchy soundscape with theatrical story-telling origins and a blissfully soulful RnB vocal – the result is something that feels like rhyme and ultimately paves the way for a more creative, sensitive, and immersive RnB realm of tomorrow.
The effect of “Deja Vu” is to draw the listener’s attention to the soft and soulful rhythm and…of course, Kami Leonne’s vocals in the background. Or, more precisely, the intimacy of the lyrics — there’s a wide range of them on display.
Kami Leonne creates an arrangement with a lot of ebbs and flows, much like the action of waves lapping on a beach, which is quite beautiful, thanks to the extensive use of reverb and delay. As a result, there is a sense of sumptuous richness throughout.
As a result of the overall mood shift of Deja Vu, the audience’s spirits are lifted as a result. It is only a brief moment, but the swagger and empowerment of the lyrical passages are swiftly restored, and we begin to connect with the bold and beautiful undertones that run throughout this song.
“Deja Vu” sheds new light on the artist, striking a chord with spectators because of its transparency, fragility, purity, and the powerful artistic thread that runs through the work. Perfect for a night out in the city and my personal favorite from the Kami Leonne line.
