Sam Blacky x Niniola Share New Single ‘Ronaldinho’
Sam Blacky, the moniker of Los Angeles-based multi-talented DJ, producer, model and influencer Samantha Black, teams up with Grammy-nominated Nigerian singer-songwriter Niniola, for their new single Ronaldinho, which celebrates the former's love for afro house and the latter's Nigerian history in a dynamic, soulful sonic journey.
Out now on Easier Said, Ronaldinho is a summer festival-ready anthem that pairs Blacky's killer production skills pairing undulating, deep basslines and percussive instrumentals with Niniola's shining, spiritual vocals and ethereal melodies that effortlessly turn the song into a spiritual listening experience. I am really loving those vocals and how the song's percussive elements build up in pace and energy, instantly giving me that urge to get up and dance. The song's blissful, euphoric vibes make this such a memorable and enthralling listening experience perfect for summer sunset parties and to get everybody in a good mood and dancing in no time.
Speaking about the song, Sam Blacky said,
As the years have passed, my passion has become more and more integrated with what we know as afro house. When the opportunity came up to work with one of the original, most iconic singers in that realm, all the way from Nigeria, there was no question. I heard what Niniola had done with the vocals for Ronaldinho and knew I had to make this song with her. Having someone who is such an amazing storyteller, with such an incredible voice, who has lived this life through and through brings an entirely different message and meaning to the music.
