Delazy puts the F-U-N in new track, Funani
DIVA cover star Toya Delazy is back – and with a brand new, African-inspired sound that’ll light a fire in your belly…
Rapping Zulu over a gritty garage beat, Funani is the result of a co-production between Delazy and music producer Henry Counsell of Joy Anonymous and marks an exciting diversion in Delazy’s artistic craft.
“Funani is a notable divergence from the happy pop music my fans have come to expect from me,” says Toya. “My new hard-hitting African-inspired sound is something we’ve dubbed Afro-Rave.”
