Dynamic London-based Nigerian artist PAPARAZZLE is thrilled to announce his brand new single ‘DARLING’, an infectious amapiano track infused with pop and afrobeats sensibilities. Set for release on May 3, ‘Darling’ represents a vibrant departure from PapaRaZzle’s previous mid-tempo love songs, aiming to encapsulate the sweetness and upbeat rhythm of romance in one harmonious track. Inspired by the enduring support and joy brought by a loved one, PapaRaZzle sought to create a song that not only celebrates love but also compels listeners to dance. The choice of the word ‘Darling’ reflects the song’s tender and joyful spirit, underscoring the affectionate tone that permeates this upbeat anthem.
Known for his inventive blend of musical styles that merge afrobeats and dancehall together with pop, R&B, and soul to create something truly magical, PapaRaZzle has done it again with this new single. The creation of ‘Darling’ was a truly international endeavour, with PapaRaZzle in the UK and his trusted producer Kryptian in Nigeria. Despite the distance, they brought the song to life through a lively exchange of ideas via voice notes and emails, refining the track until it resonated with the sweet, upbeat energy that PapaRaZzle envisioned. As ‘Darling’ releases, it stands as a testament to PapaRaZzle’s continued innovation and his commitment to creating music that connects and uplifts.
With this new offering ‘Darling’, PapaRaZzle is hoping to touch the hearts of listeners around the globe with a melody that celebrates affection and companionship. This intent is captured perfectly in the song’s lyrics and the infectious melody that drives ‘Darling’, making it a track that urges joy and dance in equal measure. The title ‘Darling’ is a nod to the affection and deep respect he feels towards his muse, emphasizing the warmth and positivity he aims to spread through his music. This single is not just a continuation of PapaRaZzle’s creative exploration but a heartfelt offering to the world, aiming to restore a bit of romantic joy and danceable delight to everyone who listens.
According to PapaRaZzle, ‘Darling’ is an embodiment of his vision to spread positivity and joy through his music. Speaking further about the inspiration behind the track, PapaRaZzle describes it as his heartfelt tribute to love and romance, “This song is my little contribution to putting some more sweetness, love, and romance back in the world. It is a song that celebrates love, and an appreciation for someone who’s been by your side, plus the song will make you dance. I feel it was my duty to put that energy into the world in the form of music, and I also think ‘Darling’ is such a sweet word, it should be said more (lol). I hope it resonates and people feel it as deeply in their hearts as that’s where it was created from.”
