Lungi, after releasing her latest EP ‘Courage’ has explained the significance and personal nature of the track, ‘Duro’ which in Yoruba, means ‘stand’ or ‘wait’ but also an Igbo word for ‘sit’ or ‘stay’.
“This song is about a love like no other. I was pregnant when we did this song and I remember Dantae and Amelia asking me where I was in my life and what was the one thing I would love to have more than anything. L
“Like if God were to grant you a gift, what would that be? I disclosed to them that I was pregnant and I would give anything to hear the baby’s heartbeat. Dantae wanted the song to have an acappella build-up so we recorded dry vocals and started writing the song. It’s the song on the EP that makes my heart skip a beat every time I play it.
“We lost the baby a few weeks later and I recorded the song while I was going through that. This is a song about love in its purist form, a love between a mother and her unborn baby”, she said.
‘Courage’ has seen the release of the following singles, ‘Feel Good’, ‘About You’, ‘Azania’ and now the new focus track ‘Duro’. The COURAGE EP was co-written, recorded and produced by Dantae Johnson at The Woods Studios in London and mixed and executive produced by Pete ‘Boxsta’ Martin at the Matrix Studio complex. ‘Addicted’ was produced by Tega at Blues Steam Entertainment Studio in Lagos, Nigeria. Lungi recorded all the vocals at the Sound Foundry studio in Cape Town with Greg Abrahams.
