More Info:

Berlin based production duo Re.decay have returned with ‘These Days’, an upbeat and dynamic blend of hip hop, afrobeats and soul. After two years focused largely on production for other artists and conceptualizing the forthcoming album, the track showcases a confident return to center stage for the duo as well as noticeable stylistic developments. Re.decay’s raw sonic palette is tempered by smooth chords and a pulsating, playful blend of eastern and western rhythms.

On vocals, the duo enlisted rising Ghanian talent Kirani Ayat, who flows effortlessly, switching between breathy, vocal textures, gritty rap, and anthemic hooks, all while delivering a message of stoic optimism (in both English and Hausa, the most popular spoken language in West Africa.) “The song is me reassuring myself”, explains Ayat. “Being different and being innovative is often unrewarded. Over here it often feels like you’re either mainstream or underground. My sound is niche, I put in a lot of effort just to stand out. This track is me reminding myself ‘Darey da rana’ (‘day and night’ in Hausa) ‘life goes on we living our lives’ that I shouldn’t care much for what’s mainstream or for what’s trendy and I should just keep doing me, I just have to stay true to myself.” Ayat’s bold presence and powerful melodies bring an obvious comparison to Anderson .Paak, while the quiet confidence of his rap verse evokes Mac Miller.

When added up, the sum of the parts feels like a stylistic blend between The Internet and Salif Keitta with a pinch of Dave sprinkled in. The finished product has made Re.decay (Owen Ross and Emanuel Bender) into Kirani Ayat superfans. “We were amazed with the vocals that Ayat sent us. His delivery is so soulful and he strikes the perfect balance between looseness and precision.

Aside from his contributions to ‘These Days,’ he really set the tone and standard for the whole album. “Way Out East”, the debut album from Re.decay is scheduled for release in January of 2022. It features 15 vocalists from 8 different countries.

Lyrics:

Haa haa haa ha
Haa haa ha
Dare da rana
Dare darana

(Chorus)
Dare da rana
Life goes on we living our lives
Dare da rana
Life goes on we living our lives
Dare da rana
Life goes on we living our lives
Dare da rana

Yea

No rest for the wicked
Momma said no rest for the wicked
Karya da gulma it won’t work
On and on in these days (these days)
Fadi zuciyan ka (sa sa sa sa sa)
Me ne ke damun ki (sa sa sa sa sa)
Na san duniya ku ma
Jah dey we’ll be alright (mmm)

Ethical trapper, I might buy a Tesla Roadster for the environment
Ugh Persian rugs, Jamaican tings,
For my enjoyment (yea)
Izan ina so na say
Got it locked on both ends’ that’s my head and my affairs
Menene farashin abin da ba tambaya (nah)
Boys intimidated, I see through your aura
No fears I’ll go when it’s my time (yea)

(Chorus)
Ayimbe
These days thes days e ye
Ayimbe
Every day every day e ye
Aimbe
O na na na na na
Ayimbe
Wai yo

A ci a ci a ci a ci
Ko wani rana
A ci a ci a ci a ci
Darey da rana
A ci a ci a ci a ci
Ko wani rana
A ci a ci a ci a ci
Safe d dare
