The trio doesn’t disappoint in the new single if it is a taste of the upcoming album. The beat was recorded by Saint P, mixed and mastered at Decimal Productions by Eric Musyoka while the video was done by Ogopa records.
In the video, it can be realised that Ford Motors has strategically placed their new 4×4 pickup Ranger, making it one of the videos with powerful corporate brand placement.
The group announced one week ago through Instagram that they were set for a major comeback with the ‘Çolours of Love’ album.
Elani was in the news in 2016 when they called out Music Copyright Society of Kenya (MCSK) for stealing royalties which they collect on behalf of artists. Questions of corruption within MCSK has caused division within the entertainment sector with various stakeholders forming their own entities to collect their own royalties.
