Kenya’s shining Afro-Indie star Njerae returns in full bloom with the radiant new visuals for “Colors”, her standout collaboration with Grammy-winning virtuoso Bensoul. Following the success of her sophomore EP under Universal Music Group East Africa, the release of “Colors” marks another triumphant chapter in her unstoppable rise.
Directed by Black Jurist of Just District, the video is a stunning blend of mood, movement, and meaning — a kaleidoscope of emotion and artistry that reflects both artists’ refined chemistry. Set against the vibrant backdrop of Nairobi’s creative scene, the visuals double as a love letter to the city’s thriving circular fashion movement. Featuring celebrated Kenyan brands like Makasi and WhoIsCloset, the video celebrates sustainable fashion while grounding the narrative in authenticity and culture.
Musically, “Colors” feels like sunlight captured in melody — warm, playful, and soulfully rich. Produced by Kobby Worldwide, the track fuses Afro-pop and R&B into a breezy yet emotionally layered soundscape. Njerae’s silken vocals intertwine with Bensoul’s distinct tone, creating a magnetic push-and-pull that mirrors the song’s themes of connection, intimacy, and the contrasts that make love so intoxicating. As Njerae puts it, “It’s warm, a bit flirty, and layered — just like love itself.”
The release follows a monumental year for both artists. From Bensoul’s chart-topping “Kautamu Flani” and SAMA nomination to Njerae’s whirlwind achievements — including joining Bien’s ‘Alusa Continua Tour’, performing at Blankets & Wine UK, and surpassing 3.7 million streams on her EP Four Letter Word — “Colors” feels like the perfect crescendo to a defining era in Kenyan music.
With her radiant blend of Afro-Indie, R&B, and soul, Njerae continues to redefine what it means to be a modern East African artist — fearless, authentic, and deeply in tune with her artistry.
