Rising artist Kunmie has teamed up with Afropop star Joeboy for the release of his latest single, “Solace II”. The track serves as an emotional follow-up to his previous record, “Solace,” which was released only last month.
While the original version of the song focused on the solitary search for peace amidst unresolved pain, “Solace II” explores the theme of finding tranquility through human connection. The collaboration delves into the comfort found in another person when the world feels overwhelming.
The track is characterised by its raw honesty and stripped-back delivery.
Kunmie wears his vulnerability openly, asking poignant questions such as, “If I lose it all, would I have you?”. Joeboy reflects on love as a form of escape and healing, with his performance described as a late-night conversation with a confidant.
The song encourages leaning into love and support rather than maintaining a constant facade of strength.
The production of “Solace II” remains calm and spacious, designed to let the lyrics resonate deeply with the listener. Rather than offering a quick fix for life’s problems, the music aims to provide a sense of companionship that makes heavy burdens easier to carry.
“Solace II” is now available to stream on all major music platforms.
