The South African music extraordinaire known as Ricky Lenyora pleases her fans and followers alike by the release of this excellent banger named Malacosta (Remix)
Six featured artists on one track sounds like a recipe for chaos, but Ricky Lenyora has shown throughout “LENYORA SZN” that he understands how to sequence voices without losing the record’s identity. “Malacosta (Remix)” benefits from that same curatorial instinct, each artist slotting into the arrangement at the right moment rather than competing for the same space simultaneously.
The original “Malacosta” already established the song’s melodic foundation before this remix expanded it significantly. Bringing DJ Maphorisa back into the production conversation alongside a much larger cast gives the revisit a noticeably heavier, more layered feel compared to whatever preceded it.
Angekebabuye MC adds something distinct here that separates this version from the other collaborative cuts on the album. His contribution brings a rougher, more raw vocal texture that contrasts interestingly against the smoother melodic work from Mark Khoza and Mluusician elsewhere in the arrangement.
Reece Madlisa and Zuma, who also appear together on “Bashana,” continue their pattern of adding rhythmic intensity to Ricky Lenyora’s productions throughout the project. Their combined presence gives “Malacosta (Remix)” a driving energy that keeps the record moving even at its most populated moments.
This song is an amazing bop that will blow away your mind and take your breath away. Listen and tell us what you think in the comment section below.
