‘Nyash’ comes in the wake of the singer’s bold transition from the wholesome ‘good girl’ image to an edgier, more daring persona. This shift marks a new chapter in her career, showcasing her versatility and daring artistic spirit, making space for a more authentic version of herself.

The track, produced by S2kizzy and featuring DJ Joozey, celebrates body positivity as well as African beauty. According to the singer’s team, the infectious bongo flava beats infused with amapiano create a dance anthem that encourages self-love and confidence on the dance floor, igniting a movement of empowerment.

“‘Nyash’ is more than just a song – it’s a celebration of bodies in all their beautiful shapes and sizes,” a statement says. “With every note, Abigail Chams invites listeners to embrace themselves fully, igniting a movement of empowerment through music.”

Abigail Chams is not just a singer but a versatile multi-instrumentalist whose music transcends boundaries. With her distinct vocal prowess, she effortlessly blends genres to create music that resonates deeply.

Abigail Cham’s most recent body of work is an EP named 5. The six-track collection is named 5 as it represents the five most important things in the artist’s life. The EP relays her East African essence to the world and has made a distinct etch on the Tanzanian, African and global Afro music scene.

The first single release from the EP ‘Nani?’ featuring Marioo is a bongo flava-amapiano fusion that topped the charts in Tanzania right from its release.

The classically trained multi-instrumentalist remains one of the youngest East African artists to officially be signed to a major record label – Sony Music Africa. Her music is characterised by lively pop melodies and soulful Afro-R&B arrangements that allow her to show off her impressive vocal range. In addition, she sings in three languages: English, Swahili and French.
