Malawian R&B artist Kell Kay collaborates with Zeze Kingston and Giboh Pearson on “Wale.”

The collaboration blends three distinct musical voices into one cohesive track. Kell Kay brings his smooth R&B foundation, while Zeze Kingston layers in dancehall energy and Giboh Pearson adds his own vocal character to the mix. Together they create a record that moves between rhythmic intensity and melodic restraint, letting each artist breathe within the arrangement.

Born Kelvin Kambwiri in Lilongwe, Kell Kay has built a reputation as one of Malawi’s leading voices in modern R&B. His earlier work, including “Bana Phwanya,” earned him recognition across Southern Africa and helped establish him among the country’s most streamed artists. He has also worked with Zeze Kingston before, which adds a natural familiarity to this new partnership.

“Wale” arrives with an official music video, extending the reach of what many in Malawi’s music community consider a significant collaboration. The song speaks to how the country’s R&B and dancehall scenes continue to overlap and influence one another.
