DarkoVibes and Runtown are not new to experimentalism. Matter of fact, a huge chunk of their discographies is songs built on exploration of colorful sonic ranges; this, and their synergy, is what makes the former’s latest, Understanding Love (Extended), a likely hit from the get-go. The compatible duo reprises their roles as enviable wingmen on the Reggae-inspired love song, complementing each other’s individualities and delivering harmonies that unite cultures and sounds.
On their last rodeo together, Mike Tyson, a standout track off DarkoVibes sprawling debut, Kpanlogo, they traded words alluding to their lifestyles over a springy instrumental, this time, however, they ditch activism and boldness for corny words and vulnerability. Over Killbeatz and Highlander’s sprightly mix of Afrofusion and Reggae, they live up to the expectations of their partnership.
