‘Koliko‘, the latest collaboration between Bristol-based production duo The Allergies and Ghanaian vocalist K.O.G, is a vibrant and engaging blend of old-school Afrobeat sensibilities and contemporary hip-hop attitude.
The track’s infectious groove, built around vintage samples and punctuated by punchy horns and a robust bassline, provides an ideal foundation for K.O.G’s dynamic vocal delivery.
K.O.G’s live vocals and percussion, recorded in the moment at The Allergies’ studio, imbue the track with a raw, spontaneous energy that is often lacking in more polished productions. While ‘Koliko‘ may not necessarily break new ground in terms of its musical style or lyrical content, it nonetheless stands as a solid and enjoyable addition to The Allergies’ catalogue, and a worthy showcase for K.O.G’s considerable talents as a vocalist and performer.
Fans of both artists, as well as those with an appreciation for Afrobeat and its modern-day iterations, will find much to enjoy in this lively and well-crafted single.
