Afrobeats artiste Xpenza drops two-pack single; ‘1thin/Farabale’

Young and new but highly determined, Nigerian Afrobeats artiste, Xpenza, has recently dropped his two-pack single, ‘1Thin/Farabale’.

His first track, ‘1 thin’, is a catchy Afrobeats/Afro R&B love song with a smoky and translucent feel. The song begins with a shrill hook, a lovely execution of falsetto adlibs, accompanied by a fiery guitar melody.

This starter defines the general tone of the music, granting it that smoky and hazy effect that makes the music feel like it’s bouncing off your skin, like a fever dream.

He takes the first verse with a smoother voice, addictive, easy and a perfect haze, as he pleads with his lover for 1 thin

His next song, ‘Farabale’ draws some inspiration from South African music and culture. The track begins with a sample of a popular South African song and then bleeds into its own rhythm, a vibey, Amapiano/Afrobeats track on hustle, learning from the struggle, and following the right path.  

‘Farabale’ is that song that reminds us to calm down and to learn instead from the life lessons that every pain and struggle brings, to understand that every path is different. But more than that, it is an affirmation of his drive, a determination to never get tired of the hustle and to sit in awareness of the many blessings coming his way, the fruitfulness of his hard work.

This song is both a learning ground and a source of motivation. Drawing from his own real-life experiences, he reminds and advises listeners to ‘Farabale’ and to constantly walk the right path, to continue pushing despite the pressure to take the easy road.
