Fusing elements of Afro House and Afropop, with “addictive percussions and a palpable, rhythmic bass”, ‘Take Me Away’ (produced by Telz) features guest vocals from the acclaimed Nigerian singer-songwriter and multi-instrumentalist Ayanfe, and Kenya’s biggest Afropop vocalist BIEN (Sauti Soul).
Commenting on the rousing party track, DJ Obi says via a press release: “’Take Me Away’ is the beginning of a journey. A journey to your favourite destination, a journey to the dancefloor, a journey to making a memorable moment happen.”
