Tanasha Donna returns with a captivating new single, “FIRE,” a powerful and personal Afro-house anthem that marks a bold new chapter for one of East Africa’s most magnetic talents. The track, released just days after her 30th birthday, blends Swahili and English lyricism with pulsating rhythms and a fierce, feminine energy, delivering a sonic statement that is both intimate and unapologetic.
“FIRE” is an anthem of empowerment, emotional liberation, and cultural pride. Written by the Kenyan-Italian songstress herself, the track is a heartfelt tribute to motherhood, East African beauty, and the inner power of today’s woman. The song’s hypnotic beat, produced by rising talent keyløud and mastered by Grammy-winning engineer Dave Kutch, provides a dynamic backdrop for Tanasha’s signature blend of elegance, soul and raw honesty.
The release of “FIRE” has already garnered significant attention and media support from outlets like LA Mag Africa, Showbiz Uganda, Global Grind and Fresh Music Freaks, with Top Ghana Music deeming it “a sharp showcase of Tanasha’s evolving sound and artistic growth.” This positive reception underscores the emotional depth and artistic maturity that Tanasha is bringing to her latest era.
Born in the UK and raised between Belgium and Kenya, Tanasha Donna’s diverse cultural background has profoundly shaped her genre-defying sound, which expertly weaves together Afrobeat and R&B elements. Since bursting onto the Kenyan music scene in 2020 with her breakout single “Gere,” a collaboration with Tanzanian superstar Diamond Platnumz, she has quickly become one of the region’s most exciting artists. Her talent and impact have been recognised with multiple accolades, including being named Best Female Artist in North, South, and East Africa from 2020 to 2022.
