Los Angeles-based producer KJ Conteh dives into 2024 with a fresh sound, teaming up with multi-talented artists SYD and DB Bantino on the captivating single “Something New.” Released via Kabaya Recordings, the track marks Conteh’s first offering of the year and showcases his signature blend of cultural influences and soulful R&B.
“Something New” is an alternative masterpiece designed to evoke a deep connection with the listener. Conteh weaves his magic, crafting a breezy melody that effortlessly carries the enchanting vocals of SYD (known for her work with Zayn, Kehlani, and The Neighborhood) and DB Bantino (whose credits include Chris Brown, Tory Lanez, and Offset).
Speaking about the inspiration behind the track, Conteh reveals, “In today’s musical landscape, everything feels homogenized. I’m not about following trends or churning out generic tunes. I want my music to evoke emotions, to be something truly new that draws on global influences and carves its own unique path.”
This commitment to artistic individuality is evident in Conteh’s impressive production portfolio, which boasts credits for renowned artists like Snoop Dogg, 50 Cent, DAZ, AKA, and DA Les. With “Something New,” he takes another bold step forward, solidifying his position as a producer with a distinct voice and a knack for crafting unforgettable collaborations.
