Having taught himself how to play the piano at the age of 5, Kofi has always had an incredible amount of passion for music and a unique ear for sound. His style and melodies come from a classical period in hip-hop and R&B which has been a catalyst in propelling him to create music that his audience can really engage in. With his soothing tone & witty lyricism, he is definitely a special one to watch.
Don’t Lie To Me by Kofi Kente is a beautiful, soulful and catchy afrobeat song, perfectly produced that will send you on a journey with smooth vocal melodies and catchy electronic beats in the background.
Finding one’s place within a diaspora in connection to the Motherland can be an integral part of exploring afro-beats and world music in hip-hop. This is certainly true of Don’t Lie To Me. You’ll be melodically transmuted to a place of music, culture, and afro-bliss.
The afro-beats instrumentation makes up the arguably simplistic soundscape, yet they never fail to intrigue and keep the listener engaged with the complex structure and layered elements.
Don’t Lie To Me is a successful fusion of afrobeat and soul music, with crisp brass and a clever rhythmic conversation between the chattering drum beats. The great singing of Kofi Kente on this track is definitely a mood changer and will get you in a dancing trance immediately when you turn it on.
The soulful afro-beats vocals are introduced seamlessly each time, and the harmonies are the forefront of the track, and constantly take the spotlight. Familial and unrefined, Kofi Kente encompasses the fundamental sounds of African heritage in their music.
