“I didn’t ask for someone perfect, just someone I can build with…”
Isn’t that what we all want? To feel like you are at home, talking until you fall asleep on the phone.
The smooth neo-soul sound coming from this beautiful songstress is a breath of fresh air.
Born in Nigeria and based in Toronto, Zenesoul (zen-soul) released her debut EP, Worth, in 2019. Since then, a steady stream of ceiling-shattering singles — including “Love and Be Loved,” “Sunday,” and “I Will Not Be Silenced” — succeeded 2020’s premiere full-length, Coffee. With a total of ~ 875,000k streams across platforms, Zenesoul has performed at the This is Brampton: NXNE music festival, and garnered multiple features across playlists, blogs, and podcasts — including CTV Morning Live, Earmilk, Rory from the Joe Budden Podcast, and R&B Radar.
“When I first heard the beat from my producer, Larumadeit, I instantly thought of that nostalgic type of love people had in the past,” Zenesoul (Angie Akhinagba) shares of the song teeming with the lush, enveloping sound that’s all her own. “My previous project, Coffee, took listeners through my tribulations with toxic love,” Zenesoul expands. “Since then, I’d made a pact to only search for the best love, so the song became a manifestation of the love I wanted in my life after such hard times dealing with it in the past.
