Bien Aime-Baraza from Sauti Sol has joined a select group of Kenyan artists to showcase their talent on COLORSxSTUDIOS, where he presented his recent hit track ‘True Love.’ Notably, he is the first male RnB singer from Kenya to be featured on this platform, following three versatile Kenyan women who also delivered exceptional performances.

 

COLORS is known for its exceptional production quality in both sound and visuals, and it highlighted Bien’s remarkable musical abilities as he passionately sang and delivered an outstanding performance.
COLORSxSTUDIOS wrote on Instagram: “Kenyan songwriter, musician, and vocalist Bien brings the good vibes with his uplifting performance of his new single ‘True Love’.”
Expressing gratitude for the unique chance, the steadfast member of Sauti Sol conveyed: “It was all a dream. I have been watching COLORS for years, so when @spotifyafrica called and asked if I was interested, it was a no brainer! Stream ‘True Love’ from my new album on all DSPs now. Thank you SPOTIFY for being incredible!”
Spotify has collaborated with COLORSxSTUDIOS to shine a spotlight on the melodic sounds of Kenyan R&B with a series of six exclusive performances under ‘A Colors Show.’
The initial artist to make an appearance on the COLORS stage was the gifted singer-songwriter Lisa Oduor-Noah, who captivated the audience with her rendition of “For Keeps,” a song she composed in 2017.
Following Lisa’s enchanting performance, Xenia Manasseh, a singer-songwriter and a Spotify RADAR artist, graced the stage with her airy vocals and skillful lyrics.
Former Camp Mullah member Karun was also featured, performing ‘Only You,’ a tribute to a past love.
“I hope to keep discovering who I am and just being fiercely myself in whatever medium that is, and so music is what I’m doing right now, and I hope it kind of just gets a bit more powerful,” said Karun on her future ambitions.
Monica Kemoli-Savanne, who holds the role of Artist & Label Partnerships Manager for Spotify in East Africa, shared her enthusiasm for making these partnerships a reality, expressing: “This is the first time that any Kenyan artist is performing on A COLORS SHOW, and we are honored to have been able to make this collaboration a reality. Our mission of elevating African artists to global stages continues, and we cannot wait for audiences all around the world to discover the amazing R&B talent that Kenya has to offer.”
The partnership between Spotify and COLORSxSTUDIOS is set to acquaint worldwide audiences with Kenya’s diverse and lively music scene.
