Afro-Soul/jazz songstress and composer, Teni, is back with a brand new alternative dancehall-soul single and collaboration with artiste and producer Shank titled Bad Boy. The song is co-written by Teni and Shank, and co-produced by Teni herself, Shank and John Black.
With comparisons to the great Sade Adu, and the likes of Afrobeat co-creator Tony Allen, tastemakers BBC and original Rock bible NME counted as huge fans, Teni is proving to be the rising star of African soul and jazz music. Her last single Your Love Is The Key garnered play list support from MTV, Kiss FM Ibiza, Hot Jamz Netherlands, and Missy Elliot’s official DJ, DJ Mellow-D, on New York’s Hot 94.4, among other tastemakers.
The new single Bad Boy is an exciting alternative mash up of Teni’s glorious Soul sensibilities and Shank’s infectious Dancehall vibe to create a compelling tale about seduction and irresistible attraction with Shank playing the ‘bad boy’ and Teni playing the ‘good girl’, backed by lush tropical drums, hauntingly captivating backing vocals and piercing horn arrangements.
