Rajul Malik‘s Peka is one of those Swahili tracks that pulls you in from the first few seconds “Peka” means “only” or “alone” in Swahili, and the song leans into that feeling  that sense of wanting one person and no one else.

The production has a smooth, laid-back vibe that matches the lyrics well. Rajul keeps it simple but emotional, which is honestly what makes it stick. It doesn’t try too hard, and that’s the best thing about it.

If you’re into East African music with a soft romantic side, this one’s worth your time. You can stream or download Peka.
