Kold AF continues to captivate audiences with her distinctive blend of Afrobeats, Reggae, Dancehall, R&B, and Soul, crafting a soundscape that’s as unique as it is compelling. With a sound that harkens back to the artistry of Cynthia Morgan, Kold AF has carved out her own niche in what appears to be an expansive blue ocean of musical opportunity.

Her discography, rich with sound, talent, and emotive vocal prowess, includes notable works like "Kold SZN," "Kollide," and the collaborative tracks “Everyday” with AEMA and “No Pity.” Themed around love, life, feminism, and hedonism, her music delves into personal and universal narratives that resonate deeply with her audience.

Kaution EP: A Bold Step Forward

With the “Kaution EP,” Kold AF adds a bold chapter to her journey. This six-track masterpiece explores self-confidence and indulgence, starting with “365,” a declaration of her relentless drive and artistic integrity. The song melds dancehall with pop elements, portraying her life as a relentless pursuit of creative expression.

The theme of hedonism permeates the EP, particularly in “9 Lives,” featuring Bkay EastGaad. This track, with its upbeat, intoxicating rhythms, celebrates the pleasures of life through lyrics that blend Patios and Nigerian Pidgin, embodying the carefree spirit of the music.

“Mayana,” the third track, explores themes of escapism and hedonism. It’s a dancehall-infused Afropop number that sparks hope and the desire to live in the moment, with the chorus inviting listeners to dance away their worries.

“10 Toes Down” combines Dancehall and R&B, backed by bold vocals. It’s a powerful anthem of resilience and determination, echoing the trials of navigating a male-dominated industry and the personal battles one faces daily.

The EP continues with “My Way,” maintaining the theme of fierce independence before concluding with “Cycle Must Break.” This final track is a spiritually charged, philosophically rich anthem that shifts from introspective to a vibrant EDM beat, showcasing Kold AF’s versatility and depth.
