There is a captivating feeling that comes with stumbling upon undeniable music in this era and when I came across emerging Toronto-based soul/R&B singer Kibra, I was immediately drawn into her world. On this new single "James", it is clear that her vocal tone is distinctly full and cuts through the mix like a hot knife through butter as soon as you hit the play button. Backed by a soulful and warm soundscape made up of dreamy keys and pads, Kibra pays homage to the great Etta James and her iconic track “Rather Go Blind.” Here, Kibra embodies the emotions of a hopeless romantic who is neck-deep in love and doesn't shy away from showing her emotions
Kibra is currently working on her full-length debut titled Soul Butter which is scheduled for a 2024 release.
Kibra has headlined prestigious stages such as TIFF (Toronto International Film Festival), Afrofest Canada, Sony Centre for the Performing Arts, and Yonge and Dundas Square. Her performances transcend boundaries, leaving an indelible mark on her audience. She has also graced international stages, including SXSW in Austin, Texas and AfroChic in Accra, Ghana, where her magnetic stage presence and heartfelt connection with the crowd elevate her performances to extraordinary heights. She has also collaborated with Sofar Sounds on numerous occasions, where she showcased her talents to new fans across North America.
