After making waves with her debut project For Melanin Girlies, Ghanaian producer and multi-instrumentalist Mēl returns with her first single of 2025, “Thamanga.” The title, derived from a Malawian word meaning “run,” carries a powerful message—urging women to walk away from relationships that leave them feeling uncertain and unvalued.
In a world where love should be direct, assuring, and secure, “Thamanga” serves as a wake-up call for those who find themselves chasing a love that is not promised. The song encourages listeners to choose themselves first and recognize when it’s time to move on from situations where they are unheard and unappreciated.
Produced by Mēl, the track features the soulful vocals of Malawian singer Kim of Diamonds and Ghanaian vocalist Stella Sena, who bring the song’s emotional depth to life. Together, they deliver a compelling anthem of self-worth and empowerment, set against Mēl’s signature fusion of Afrobeats, R&B, and soul-infused production.
