An inspiring blend of African indie rock and pop influences, addressing contemporary struggles of marginalized communities with a hypnotic beat and poignant lyrics
MOLOMBO, an incredibly talented artist based in Inglewood, United States, is making waves with his unique blend of Alt Rock Pop and Hip-hop. He is a multi-disciplinary Congolese-American artist who debuted in 2020 and has since captivated audiences with his vibrant fusion of cultural influences and contemporary sounds. His latest single, “StarStruck (Pawn in their Game),” is a testament to his artistic prowess and commitment to addressing important social issues.
“StarStruck” draws inspiration from Bob Dylan’s iconic track “Only a Pawn in Their Game,” tackling the contemporary struggles that marginalized communities face. MOLOMBO’s music is remarkably distinctive, featuring African indie rock and pop elements reminiscent of Amadou & Mariam’s “Dougou Badia.”
In this track, he collaborates with a Harlem guitarist, a Nigerian pianist, a Nigerian church choir, and a Cameroonian vocal chanter, creating an eclectic and harmonious soundscape. The beat, created by HYDoThat, along with the mixing and mastering by Big Rula, adds a cinematic quality to the track, making it an epic listening experience.
