Fast rising artist Nhaya makes entry into the spotlight with her debut afro-fusion single Want you. It is clear that this song is more than just a song; it’s an experience, a runway showcasing the exceptional talent that is entirely Nhaya.

Nhaya introduces herself as an artist unafraid to explore the depths of human emotion, weaving together themes of longing, desire, and vulnerability into this song. From the very first note, the track sets a mood that is both intimate and expansive. The opening piano melodies are soft and deliberate as we’re ushered into what unfolds as a masterful blend of Afro-soul, RnB and contemporary fusion. 

Nhaya yields her voice fluidly, like a powerful instrument transitioning effortlessly from powerful, emotive verses to the soft, whisper-like chorus that feels like a secret shared in the dark. She causes a standstill with the lyrics, painting a picture of near-tangible longing. The simple chorus “yeah..I really, really want you/I really, really want you” serves as the master stroke repeated to mirror the obsessive nature of desire. Her delivery on this track is stellar – a delicate balance between vulnerable and commanding, making you feel the raw yearning for a lover.

What makes Want You particularly striking is its ability to create a sultry, almost hypnotic atmosphere without feeling overdone. The Afro-soul leanings of the track are subtle but undeniable, with rhythmic undertones that give the song a pulse.

As a debut single, Want You is a bold and confident entry into the spotlight. It’s a song that doesn’t just announce Nhaya’s arrival—it demands your attention. With her dynamic vocal prowess, emotive storytelling, and a sound that feels both deeply personal and universally relatable, Nhaya is an artist to watch. Want You is more than just a song for the season of love; it’s a timeless exploration of what it means to want, to ache, to feel. And if this is just the beginning, we can’t wait to see where Nhaya takes us next.
