After making waves with her viral collaboration “Smokie Pasua” alongside Bensoul, rising Kenyan singer Teslah returns with a tender, sultry new offering: “Lover Girl.” The track, released under Black Market Records, signals a more intimate direction for the singer—one that leans into vulnerability, soft vocals, and heartfelt lyricism.
Produced by the ever-inventive Unspoken Salaton, “Lover Girl” strips away the noise and lets Teslah’s voice lead the way. The production is minimalistic but polished, relying on mellow chords and warm textures that give space for Teslah’s delivery to shine. Her lyrics speak directly to themes of love, longing, and emotional openness—characteristics that continue to set her apart in a fast-evolving East African music scene.
Accompanying the single is a strikingly simple visualizer, a departure from heavily stylized music videos. Instead, Teslah connects with the audience through movement, expression, and presence—focusing on mood and authenticity rather than elaborate sets or special effects. The result is a visual companion that deepens the emotional resonance of the song.
“Lover Girl” isn’t just a new chapter for Teslah—it’s a statement of artistic maturity. With this release, she proves she can pivot from viral hits to timeless melodies, balancing pop appeal with depth.
The single is now streaming on all major platforms, and the visualizer is available on YouTube via Black Market Records’ official channel.
