Kenya’s music scene continues to flourish with bold new sounds, fresh collaborations, and genre-defying talent. On June 10, Pulselive Kenya released its latest music picks, spotlighting three powerful new tracks that are already making waves across streaming platforms.
Here’s a breakdown of the standout selections:
🎵 “June 10th” by Muthaka
Genre: R&B / Soul
Mood: Reflective, emotive
Singer-songwriter Muthaka delivers a soulful tribute with “June 10th,” a track that blends vulnerability with vocal depth. Backed by minimalistic production, Muthaka’s lyrics evoke themes of memory, love, and emotional healing. The song’s stripped-down arrangement allows her expressive tone and lyrical storytelling to shine—an R&B gem that’s perfect for late-night introspection.
“It’s both a personal date and a universal mood,” fans say, noting how easily it resonates with anyone who’s ever marked a moment of heartbreak or growth.
🎶 “Gone” – Njerae ft. Preston Pablo
Genre: Afro-Indie Ballad
Mood: Melancholic yet hopeful
Kenyan rising star Njerae teams up with Canadian pop/R&B artist Preston Pablo in “Gone,” a bittersweet fusion of acoustic soul and Afro-indie energy. The cross-continental collaboration marries soft guitar loops with harmonized vocals, exploring themes of longing, misconnection, and moving on.
Njerae’s earthy delivery pairs beautifully with Pablo’s smoother pop stylings, creating a track that feels at once introspective and international. It’s a bold step forward for Kenyan indie pop.
🔥 “Crash Out” – Brandy Maina & Zaituni Wambui
Genre: Afrobeats / Benga-inspired fusion
Mood: High-energy, fierce, empowering
If there’s one track built to light up a dancefloor, it’s “Crash Out.” This electrifying collab between Brandy Maina and Zaituni Wambui bursts with raw feminine power and rhythmic complexity. Layered with pulsating beats, rapid-fire Swahili-English bars, and benga-infused hooks, the song is a sonic celebration of freedom and unapologetic energy.
Brandy’s signature Afropop edge meets Zaituni’s charismatic performance style in a track that demands repeat plays—and has quickly become a crowd favorite on TikTok and Nairobi club scenes alike.
