Alphajiri, Nairobi’s rising Afro-pop and Gengetone stars, just released “Forever,” a melodic tribute to lasting commitment and romantic devotion.
Following the significant success of the duo’s 2024 breakout hit “Ex Wangu” featuring Mr Seed, a playful take on breakups that dominated local streaming charts, Alphajiri is shifting gears to explore the more enduring side of love. Known for the ability to weave storytelling into catchy, radio-ready melodies, Alphajiri’s latest offering reinforces the duo’s reputation as versatile songwriters within the Kenyan music scene.
“Forever” moves away from the tongue-in-cheek nature of their previous work to focus on the themes of emotional safety and trust. The track is anchored by evocative lyrics such as “Maua na Pete tuwe kitu moja” (“Let us be one like flowers and petals”), a line that beautifully illustrates the duo’s vision of deep, inseparable unity.
The single also touches on the intimacy of connection, with poignant verses inviting the listener to “close your eyes and I’ll place you in my heart,” a sentiment that has already begun to resonate with fans seeking a more soulful romantic anthem.
With “Forever,” now available for streaming on all major platforms, Alphajiri proves that love extends far beyond a single day, offering a timeless sound that bridges Afro-pop sensibilities with heartfelt lyricism.
