Spotlight Feature: Jindi remixed fresh fire into his Afro Dancehall hit, HASSA, feat Kushman and MasterKraft

Posted on 5 March 2023

The award-winning world music artist, Jindi, has reached heights most could only dream of since making his debut; from international airplay to headlining major festivals, his sound could move mountains. For his latest drop, the Dubai-residing Afro-Dancehall artist infused Kushman’s Genge sound with his Afro-Sudanese style; to entrancingly hot effect. With MasterKraft in charge of production, the lusty earworm of a floor-filler was never going to fall flat.

The original version of HASSA left very little to be desired, but as the ancestral roots of Jindi and Kusman converge in the remix, galvanising cultural dynamism was always going to flood through the arrestive dancehall grooves.

“I originally wrote and performed HASSA; I wanted to spice it up with an East African touch; it’s my first venture into the Sudanese Arabic sound. Hassa translates into ‘right now’, which is the hook. It translates into my love for my girl and my compulsion to give her everything she wants.”

The HASSA Remix was officially released on February 10th. You can catch it on all major streaming platforms via this link.

Jindi wakes the dancefloor up with new release ‘Just A Dream’

Posted on 7 June 2020

UAE-based rising star Jindi has released his new groove-infused new dancehall inspired track: ‘Just A Dream’.

It’s an impressive number from this artist who calls the UAE home: ‘Just A Dream’ is as infectious as it is absolutely gripping from its initial flamenco-inspired guitar work all the way to the rhythmic slap of the drums in that classic dancehall shuffle. Already having gained a fair amount of acclaim in his place of birth, this track shows a lot of potential starpower with a crossover appeal 

Where the track shines monumentally, however,. Is Jindi’s ability to propel his voice into a perfectly pitched and powerful chorus. This kind of vocal talent just isn’t something we’re seeing everywhere, and helps Jindi (no matter the genre) apply his musical nous to almost any genre with ease. Here, however, we recommend ‘Just A Dream’ to start yourself on a journey you don’t want to wake up from. 

You can listen to ‘Just A Dream’ on Jindi’s YouTube channel here.

90s Reggae Soul Pop lives again through breaking artist Jindi’s single “Midnight Love”

Posted on 19 May 2020

Reggae Soul artist Jindi encapsulated the smoothly romantic 90s Reggae Pop vibe with the standout single “Midnight Love” from their EP “1995”.

Along with the unfiltered romanticism and funk-riddled rhythms, you can expect a flood of nostalgia to hit and allow you to reminisce over amorous sun-soaked memories. Any form of escapism is more than welcome these days, and escapism doesn’t come much sweeter than what the warm tones in Midnight Love have to offer.

There may be elements from decades past within Midnight Love, but with the artist’s uniquely evocative appeal and fresh approach to production, their earworm more than deserves a spot on international radio waves.

You can check out Jindi’s single Midnight Love along with the rest of the EP for yourselves by heading over to Spotify now.
