Salle, the supremely talented 21-year-old Nigerian artist, continues to captivate listeners with the release of her warm and ethereal new single Countdown. Following the viral success of her debut single Icon, which went viral across TikTok with over 144 million views, her highly anticipated second single Countdown is a warm and reflective sonic journey, exploring themes of impermanence as she muses on the importance of appreciating the present. Produced by London-based hitmaker Monro and mixed by JAE5, Countdown showcases Salle’s tender and radiant vocal range, further enforcing her status as a star in the making.
Reflecting on the creation of Countdown, Salle shares,
As a creative, everything I held onto, believed and trusted in always had a different side to it, these experiences gave me a clearer picture that nothing is forever and all we have is now. This perspective changed my life and I began to embrace and pursue the present, I decided to infuse this into my music with Countdown, to let the world know that we all can just LIVE.
Imbued with honesty and importance, Countdown serves as further testament to her rapid growth as an artist. As audiences eagerly await her debut EP, set for release later this year, her dynamic and captivating sound continues to solidify her status as a unique force for 2024.
