BoQa – Smooth Criminal

Fast-expanding Afro-fusion trio BoQa has created a slick and appealing new single titled “Smooth Criminal”.

The new track arrives at the right time as Afrobeats fans need seductive mid-tempo anthems for night rides and late-night raves. Across the continent, music fans are always looking for sleek grooves that combine romantic appeal with a little street edge. BoQa drops this track to show off his vocal range, while keeping partygoers hooked from start to finish.

The sound architect constructs a clean, bounce-heavy soundtrack, using warm synth chords and crisp shaker loops as the base. He adds a gentle rolling sub-bassline behind a steady afropop kick drum to keep the pace swinging at a very comfortable rate. But the percussive arrangement is roomy, leaving room for the vocals to take center stage without being lost in the mix.

BoQa sets the standard with his rich tone of voice and calm, calming cadence. He swings between subtle melodic lines and a memorable chorus, gliding over the calm tempo and imparting wonderful appeal via each line. His voice is forceful and controlled, establishing a sleek, confident tone from the first drop.
