Sam Blacky Joins Forces With Acclaimed Grammy-nominated Nigerian Singer-Songwriter Niniola On Inspiring Vocal Afro-House Single "Ronaldinho." Out Now on Easier Said

youtube

Powerhouse LA-based DJ/producer Sam Blacky partners with Grammy-nominated African singer-songwriter hailing from Nigeria, Niniola, for their new single "Ronaldinho," which celebrates the former's love for afro house and the latter's Nigerian history in a dynamic, soulful sonic journey. Sam has long loved pushing the boundaries of dance music and breaking music genres' molds, and over the past few years, it's become apparent that her true passion lies in creating globally-inspired, dance-worthy records. "Ronaldinho" is a shining example of this with its undulating, deep basslines, percussive instrumentals, and ethereal melodies courtesy of Sam, while Niniola's shining vocals truly turn the song into a spiritual listening experience. With the summer festival season just heating up, "Ronaldinho" is about to be heard on the beach, the festival stage, and the club dance floors around the world. The track is out now on Easier Said, which finds Sam exercising her artistic freedom by once again joining a formidable roster of forward-thinking artists such as Barclay Crenshaw, Life on Planets, Maya Jane Coles, Party Pupils, and Todd Terry.

"As the years have passed, my passion has become more and more integrated with what we know as afro house. When the opportunity came up to work with one of the original, most iconic singers in that realm, all the way from Nigeria, there was no question. I heard what Niniola had done with the vocals for Ronaldinho and knew I had to make this song with her. Having someone who is such an amazing storyteller, with such an incredible voice, who has lived this life through and through brings an entirely different message and meaning to the music." - Sam Blacky

Sam Blacky's forthcoming dates:

May 26 - Brooklyn, NY - We Belong Here Jun 05 - Los Angeles, CA - Academy LA Jun 08 - Montréal, QC - New City Gas Jun 22 - San Diego, CA - Horizon Music Festival Jun 23 - Long Beach, CA - Day Trip Festival Jul 06 - Kristiansand, NO - Palmesus Festival

Niniola was nominated in the Most Promising Act to Watch category at the 2015 Nigeria Entertainment Awards.

In 2019, elements of the single were sampled on "The Lion King: The Gift Album" by Beyoncé on the track "Find Your Way Back," where she also appeared as a songwriter and composer of the song, which has gone on to get Niniola a Grammy nomination. In April 2020 and later in June 2021, she received her 1st, 2nd Grammy nomination certificate for her work as a composer.

Her second album, Phendula (2013), produced three chart-topping singles, “Phendula,” “Impilo,” and “Stay.”.

Triple platinum certification was awarded to Zahara’s third album, Country Girl (2015). She left TS Records and subsequently signed a record contract with Warner Music. Mgodi (2017), her fourth album, was certified platinum and went on to become her best-selling album.

FEARSmag’s Conversation with director/co-writer Jaco Minnaar & co-writer/producer David Cornwell on the feature film debut PEACOCK (aka POU).

PEACOCK is a South African gothic horror tale that follows the journey of Anna Pohl, played by actress Tarryn Wyngaar. Anna is young woman on a journey into the dark recesses of the Afrikaner psyche and its compromised past. She is stuck in a puritanical institution known simply as The Foundation. When Anna transgresses The Foundation’s strict moral standards, she is sent away to care for Sarel, one of its founding members. Actor Johan Botha plays Sarel, an apartheid-era theologian living out his last days in demented paranoia on his isolated farm. He is suffering from visions and hallucinations as he is haunted by ghosts from the past. Suffering her own guilt, Anna gets sucked into Sarel's dark world and begins to see his apparitions. Anna realizes she must act on her deepest convictions if she is to save herself.

This new genre film is the feature film directorial debut of South African filmmaker Jaco Minnaar. Jaco grew up in the industrial wastelands of South Africa. He studied literature at University and learned directing at film school. He’s taught film theory and worked in the television industry. He’s exhibited photographic projects and experimental video works, and has made music videos and short films.

Co-writer and producer David Cornwell was born in Grahamstown and currently resides in Cape Town. When he is not working with Minnaar, he writes fiction, films and songs for his rock band Kraal. His writing has appeared in a number of publications, including the Mail & Guardian, Prufrock, Aerodrome, Jungle Jim, New Contrast, the Chiron Review and Quiddity International Literary Journal. His first novel, published in 2017 from Penguin/Random House South Africa, is “Like It Matters.”

PEACOCK aka POU will be playing February 2023 as part of the Winter Film Awards Winter FEAR Awards Horror Film Competition in advance of the film coming to the SHUDDER platform later this year.
