With her latest track, Kitty Amor has created a musical balm for the soul, reminding us that we find our greatest strength in our shared humanity.
The London-based DJ and Afro-house pioneer has returned with “The Answer,” out now on her own label Mahaba Music, part of the Defected Records family of labels. The empowering single features emerging singer-songwriter AWEN, who has collaborated with Cristoph, Keinemusik’s Adam Port, and other influential dance music producers.
Driven by an energetic beat, the song’s sparse yet poignant lyrics paint a vivid picture of hill climbing and the collective catharsis that follows when we reach the top together. AWEN’s vocals, tinged with both vulnerability and authority, lead us through a lyrical battlefield of repressed emotions and societal expectations: “All those hours spent thinking I had to smile and hide and lie / God knows I tried,” she laments.
But thanks to its chorus about the joy of true brotherhood, “The Answer” is more than just a dancefloor-filling track: It’s a timely reminder of the masks we wear and the liberation found in shedding them. As the song builds to that uplifting hook, Amor’s potent Afrobeat production transforms its arrangement into a chest-thumping rallying cry for brotherly solidarity.
“The Answer” is the first single from Amor's debut album, which is still in development but expected to arrive in 2025, according to a press release issued by Defected. Listen to the song below and find it on streaming platforms here.
