Binoy – POPular: Hailing from Nairobi, Kenya, and now based in Los Angeles, genre-defying artist Binoy returns with his latest single, “POPular”, the first release from the deluxe edition of his debut album, The Great Alone. Blending his African roots, South Asian heritage, and queer identity, Binoy delivers a track that is both introspective and electrifying—a vibrant fusion of cultural influences wrapped in infectious dance beats.

Reflecting on the inspiration behind “POPular”, Binoy shares, “Growing up, I always felt like an outsider and struggled with the desire to be chosen. As I’ve grown older, I’ve learned to embrace my uniqueness, realizing that leaning into my individuality is the key to feeling truly accepted. POPular bridges the old and new versions of myself, acknowledging past insecurities while celebrating the belief that no artist sounds quite like me.”

With its pulsating rhythms and bold production, “POPular” encapsulates Binoy’s distinct musical identity, blending traditional Indian and African elements with fierce, queer dance music. The result is a track that’s both fun and sexy, yet deeply introspective—a testament to his talent for storytelling through sound.

Having honed his craft as a multi-instrumentalist and skilled producer, Binoy is part of a new wave of African artists making their mark on the global stage. With “POPular”, he continues to push boundaries, delivering a sound that is as fearless and boundless as his imagination.

“Now more than ever, I am finding my place in this world,” Binoy adds, signaling a new chapter in his artistic journey—one defined by authenticity, self-acceptance, and creative freedom.
