Black Market Records brings in a new face polished with an existing new one. Heavy Cane drops his first single under BMR. “Ananipenda,” – “She Loves Me” in Swahili. The master piece is an emotional collaboration by Kenyan musicians Heavy Cane and Harry Craze. The audio was released in early January 2025. The track starts with a silky blend of Afrobeat grooves and contemporary pop sensibilities, creating an open sound that appeals to a wide audience. The production by Brim is sleek and allows both artists’ vocals to get top billing. The chorus is particularly infectious, and it serves as a sing-along part of the track.
“Ananipenda” is a romance song and an adoration song, with the artists showing gratitude and happiness over the love they are getting from their lovers. The song incorporates Swahili and English, which makes the song more universal and emotionally relatable. Statements such as “Ananipenda, she loves me for who I am” represent the unconditional love and appreciation.
“Ananipenda” is a beautiful love song with relatable lyrics and a catchy musical arrangement. The collaboration of Heavy Cane and Harry Craze creates a track that is radio-friendly and sentimental. If you are in the mood for a love song, or if you just enjoy good Afrobeat music, then “Ananipenda” is an excellent choice to add to your playlist.
