Spark voices – Toxic Love Ft. Zikiri Sourakata Kone & Lyteboii

Spark Voices assembles a compelling creative trio with Zikiri Sourakata Kone and Lyteboii on Toxic Love, a West African-flavoured record that explores the complicated pull of a relationship that you know is wrong but simply cannot bring yourself to leave behind.

Toxic Love moves on a melodic, groove-driven production that blends Afropop with West African musical influences, creating a warm sonic backdrop that sits in deliberate contrast to the difficult emotional territory being navigated in the lyrics throughout the record. The three vocal contributions bring different textures and perspectives to the shared theme, making Toxic Love feel like a genuinely layered exploration of the subject rather than a one-dimensional treatment of an emotion that deserves considerably more complexity than it usually receives in popular music.

Spark Voices has been developing a creative approach centred on collaborative storytelling through music, understanding that the right combination of voices can illuminate a single subject from multiple angles in ways that solo recordings simply cannot achieve with the same depth or richness. Zikiri Sourakata Kone and Lyteboii each bring distinct artistic identities to the record that expand its emotional range considerably, and the chemistry between all three contributors gives Toxic Love a conversational quality that makes the listener feel like they are hearing multiple sides of a story rather than a single rehearsed perspective.

This record captures the specific exhaustion and exhilaration of loving something that is not good for you with enough musical honesty to make anyone who has been there feel immediately and uncomfortably understood.

Stay Tuned and Enjoy!
