“Nalona” is a soulful Afro-house collaboration between The Bless and Poizen, featuring the emotive vocals of Mr Abie. The title, Nalona — loosely translating to “That One” or “This One” — hints at themes of personal connection, longing, and emotional clarity.
The Bless and Gaba Cannal recently appeared on Nkateko.
Built on a foundation of deep percussive rhythms, ambient synths, and soft melodic textures, the track creates a gentle but moving atmosphere. Mr Abie’s vocals deliver an emotional plea, singing about holding on to the one person who feels like home, or perhaps mourning a connection that’s slipping away. His delivery is heartfelt, subtle, and powerful.
The production is refined and uncluttered, allowing space for the emotion to breathe. Poizen and The Bless masterfully balance warmth and melancholy, crafting a sonic space where pain and beauty coexist.
