Creatively blending the summertime bounce of soca and afrobeats music with a smooth vocal thread, evocative and deeply personal story of Faith, and a brilliantly catchy hook resolve – TAVO malkhutekha (a name meaning ‘Thy kingdom come‘) gets the chemistry just right, for the wonderful Wings of Grace.
Ultimately an earworm for this repeating moment that is the title and hook, Wings of Grace utilises a subtle horn riff and addictively uplifting groove, to dive into a story that contrastingly explores something a little more heartfelt and difficult at its core.
That balancing of elements helps the whole thing connect in a lasting way, the earworm proving all the more moving for its sense of vulnerability and the earnest apology that resides within it.
Featuring a vocal depth and accent fit to add further character to this refreshingly open and endearing debut, Wings of Grace introduces the unique tone and style of TAVO malkhutekha in a boldly memorable and emotional fashion. It’s an infectious rhythm and song, a strong melody to match, but with something poetic and pure as the beating heart of its concept, and that additional level of purpose makes all the difference.
