After we worked together on Stefan Mahendra’s “Out Of The Blue” & “Your Type” & Lina Nikol’s “Woman”, I really wanted to have Stefan on this piece I’ve been working on. It is both smooth & groovy and I think his vocals match the vibe perfectly.
Boyan
THE RELEASE
After his acclaimed funk/disco collaboration with Nic Hanson – “Something” (featured on COLORS, etc.), versatile producer Boyan returns with a new soulful single.
For “Replay”, he’s joined by London’s finest Stefan Mahendra – singer & songwriter who’s collaborated with the likes of Jafunk & edbl and has opened live for Sting, Shaggy & Olly Murs.
In this soulful gem about falling in love, you’ll be mesmerized by Stefan’s outstanding vocal runs & relatable lyricism and Boyan’s impeccable groove & signature playful jazzy keys.
