Award-winning Kenyan singer-songwriter, performing and record producer, Njerae, is set to release her first offering of the year titled “Ingia Ndani”. Known for her emotionally rich and soulful Afro-Indie records, Njerae’s latest anthem “Ingia Ndani” is produced by experienced beatsmith Hendrick Sam who is the brains behind a multitude of Kenyan hits spawning “Extra Pressure” by Bien and Bensoul, “Show you Off” by Savara – just to name a few.
Connecting with Njerae , Njerae shares the following on working with Hendrick on the single:
“Working with Hendricks Sam was such a beautiful process because he really listens. He doesn’t just make beats — he builds a world around the emotion of the song. With “Ingia Ndani,” we were very intentional about creating something that feels warm, intimate, but still catchy” Njerae mentions.
“Collaborating with different producers always stretches me. Each producer pulls something different out of me — sometimes it’s a new rhythm pocket, sometimes it’s a new melody style, sometimes it’s confidence in saying less. It helps me grow without losing who I am”.
The chilling and riveting single that speaks to letting your emotional guard down and letting someone love you unconditionally. It captures the moment one invites you into their world , orbiting around the intimacy of finally allowing yourself to be free to receive love from your significant other.
““Ingia Ndani” was inspired by that feeling of wanting someone to come closer — not just physically, but emotionally. It’s about letting someone past the surface. I think a lot of us crave connection but are scared of being seen fully. This song is me saying, if you’re here, then really be here. It’s playful, but it’s also vulnerable. It’s about inviting love in instead of pretending you don’t care” Njerae opens up.
“Ingia Ndani” is direct Swahili translation for “come inside” and this invitation is one Njerae has longed to share with her legion of supporters.
The record drops hot on the heels of her October-dropped ‘Four Letter Word (Deluxe)’ EP that featured Canadian Preston Pablo, and Kenyan sensation Bensoul. The EP also had expansive sounds such as Electronic music allowing Njerae freedom to experiment.
Following snippets of “Ingia Ndani” online, the record has received large anticipation from her fans who have been craving new music from the “Beg For It” crooner.
“Ingia Ndani” also comes on the back of Njerae being named one of the most streamed Kenyan artists in Kenya on streaming platform, Spotify.
She also headlined the Kenya Magical Open Golf Tournament in February , as well as making her debut at the Kikuyu Love Sessions the same month.
The “Aki Sioni” hit-maker Njerae is carrying forth momentum from last year having a stellar year on streaming and shows, and will be heading for her first Australian tour spanning Melbourne, Perth, Sydney and Brisbane from April 10th to 18th.
