I’m so ashamed to say this but the first time I knew Xenia Manasseh or heard her sing was when she was featured by King Kaka in a song titled Dear Stranger<\/em> which was released in November 2019.<\/p>\n

I know what you are thinking, have I been living under a rock? Absolutely not. It is just that I stumbled on her music by chance and as you know you come across the best things in life when you are not looking for them.<\/p>\n

Naturally, after hearing how beautiful she sounded on Dear Stranger<\/em>, I went to look for other songs by her and I was swept off my feet. This lass is not only beautiful but she also has a voice that matches her good looks.<\/p>\n

Believe you me, I would listen to Xenia all day and night and repeat her music the next day and the day after that. It’s the kind of music that makes you feel alive and forget about your troubles.<\/p>\n

The graduate of Berklee College of music sings from the heart and it is effortless that means if you are a lover of good music, like yours truly, then you will connect with her instantly.<\/p>\n

I’ve heard a chance to listens to some of her songs including; Don’t Go<\/em>, When It’s Over<\/em>, Niambie<\/em>, See Me<\/em> and I loved all of them.<\/p>\n

A little bird recently told me that she dropped an EP dubbed Fallin Apart<\/em> and you bet that I am going to look for it so that I can sample the songs that are on it.<\/p>\n

If I was you, I would look for her songs too because from where I sit, this lass is destined for greatness. Watch out for Xeniah Manasseh ladies and gentlemen because no one sings Afrosoul like she does.<\/p>\n
