Fast rising Afrobeat Music act, Maskking has again shine with new song ‘Bellafonte’. The song combines street-pop lingo and bumbling delivery for a catchy record.
Uptown The Maskking was able to smoothly convey his thought to his love interest who he repeatedly extols for triggering his senses and getting him in a mood to generously show the depth of his desires.
The technique borrowed from South African-styled indigenous music blends smoothly with the Amapiano-driven log drums while the carefully added tender vocals floating underneath combine to lift the musicality.
