Aklerh’s expressive vocals mix soulful phrasing with rhythmic punch, producing an irresistible chorus. The hooks and uplifting vibe make it a natural fit for playlists and social sharing.
Aklerh explains, “‘Rush’ is my invitation to celebrate and move. It’s a fresh chapter that honours my roots while embracing something vibrant and new.” Revolution Records adds, “This release marks a milestone in Aklerh’s artistic journey. Rush embodies fearless experimentation and a commitment to delivering feel-good music that travels worldwide.”
Produced by award-winning sound engineer Tubhan Muzik, Rush combines traditional highlife elements with modern Afro-inspired arrangements, creating a celebratory and spontaneous feel. The production highlights a seamless balance between rhythm and lyrics, keeping clarity intact within a party-ready groove. Aklerh’s evolved vocal delivery maintains her signature charisma while exploring new sonic textures.
