Afrofusion artist Jay Suave has released his highly anticipated new single, That’s Why, out now across all streaming platforms. Blending Afrobeats, Afropop and Afrofusion, the track marks the first offering from his forthcoming project, Reminisce, and sets the tone for the next chapter of his artistic journey.
That’s Why was born out of the energy of Shatta Wale’s Like My Ting (Everybody Like My Ting), after Jay Suave’s producer creatively wove elements of the record into the beat. Rather than simply recreating the original, Jay Suave used it as a springboard to tell his own story, channelling his journey, confidence and the mindset behind his signature Suavay Steez. The result is a record that celebrates staying true to yourself while fully embracing your own style and identity, fusing Afro-inspired sounds with a distinctly personal perspective.
