Just after dropping her second EP with Universal Music Group, Njerae presents dazzling visuals for her song “Colors” featuring Grammy‑winning Kenyan maestro Bensoul. The clip, helmed by celebrated Kenyan visual artist Black Jurist of the Just District collective, showcases a lively, performance‑driven snapshot of the two Kenyan talents’ moody energy and artistry.
The clip spotlights Kenyan labels like Makasi, paying tribute to Nairobi’s circular fashion houses—including Makasi and WhoIsCloset, among others—which shine prominently throughout the striking footage.
“Colors is really about connection — the way two people can exist in completely different worlds but still meet in the middle through feeling. It’s warm, a bit flirty, and layered — just like love itself. Ben and I wanted to capture that push and pull between softness and intensity, the kind that feels alive but grounded. The energy is soulful and bright — it sounds like sunshine after rain.” Njerae
“The song came together so naturally. Ben and I had been wanting to create something that felt timeless yet fresh — so when the chords started flowing, the rest followed. It was one of those sessions where everything aligned — the melodies, the chemistry, the message” Njerae shares.
Working together for the first time, the duo also enlisted esteemed Kenyan producer Kobby Worldwide to craft a sonic gem. Njerae, who has enjoyed a remarkable year, released her surprise EP on Wednesday, 15 October, featuring Bensoul on the lead track “Colors”. Kobby is celebrated for matching artists with his catchy, hybrid sound that blends R&B with Afro‑Pop, as showcased on “Colors”.
After a stellar year that included Bensoul’s hit “Kautamu Flani” and a nomination at the South African Music Awards (SAMA’s), Njerae’s relentless momentum has positioned this release as the pinnacle of Kenyan music in 2025. She has celebrated a prolific year of accolades, from touring with Kenyan icon Bien on the ‘Alusa Continua Tour’, to debuting abroad in Bradford, England, during the Blankets & Wine UK Edition, and seeing her EP ‘Four Letter Word’ amass 3.7 million streams. She was appointed a Spotify EQUAL Ambassador, honored in Apple’s Africa Rising Class of Apple in 2025, and chosen by YouTube as part of their Foundry Rising Class of 2025.
