Sometimes when you hear a song for the first time, you just know. That was the case with Windsor-based, Tanzanian-Canadian-raised artist Mugelezi’s unconventional single “NO WAY OUT.” It wasn’t about knowing that his drive was the next big thing, or that this track was a hit single, but there is a weight to this song that feels like the beginning of something important.

Mugelezi can blend hip-hop elements into his style of R&B very well. In a climate of dreamy, nostalgia-fuelled R&B, Mugelezi has managed to carve out an eclectically Soulful grounded-in-R&B-yet-experimental lane. His latest single certainly conveys the line between emotion and romance quite effortlessly. While Mugelezi might not have a full-length project at the moment, he does have a fair amount of singles that delve into a variety of different sounds and feelings. He compliments that as well with his witty wordplay that works wonders with bringing an all-around vibe in general.

It would be appropriate to say that Mugelezi, is a true artist in every sense of the word and is doing things on his terms and we’re simply loving the fruits of his hard work.
