Afro-Indie and soul singer Njerae is set to captivate her fans this Valentine’s Day with the release of her highly anticipated EP, Four Letter Word. Aligning perfectly with the month of love, the EP promises to be a heartfelt addition to playlists celebrating love, passion, and relationships.
The release of Four Letter Word follows a significant milestone in Njerae’s career being named among Apple Music’s Africa Rising stars for 2025, representing Kenya and East Africa. This recognition cements her growing influence in the music industry and showcases her unique approach to storytelling through music.
The EP consists of four tracks, each produced by different talented producers. “Fight for You,” produced by Wondamagik, explores themes of dedication in love. “Beg for It,” produced by Kobby Worldwide, has already made waves, peaking at #36 on Apple Music’s Top 100 Kenya after its January 17th release. “Decide,” produced by Vic West, delves into the complexities of romantic choices, while “Hypnotize,” also produced by Kobby Worldwide, is expected to be a mesmerizing sonic experience.
Njerae’s decision to release Four Letter Word on Valentine’s Day underscores the EP’s theme—love in its entirety. She explains that the project goes beyond romantic love, touching on lust, obsession, and the social interactions that shape human emotions. “I wanted to create a body of work that not only talked about intimate love but also the whole experience—from love, lust, obsession, and social interactions,” she shared.
Comparing this latest project to her 2024 EP, Out with the Old, Njerae notes a stark contrast. She highlights how she previously experimented with different sounds but now aims to return to her roots. “This music is a fusion of what I have learned experimenting over the years, working with different artists and producers, while maintaining my original style,” she added.
As anticipation builds for Four Letter Word, Njerae has also teased the release of the official music video for “Beg for It,” set to drop alongside the EP on Friday. Fans can expect an exciting lineup of projects and live performances throughout the year, as the singer continues to make her mark on the music scene.
With Four Letter Word, Njerae is poised to offer an immersive experience, perfectly encapsulating the essence of love in its many forms. Music lovers can look forward to an emotionally rich and sonically captivating project from one of Kenya’s rising stars.
