Problems - Libianca, Ayra Starr & Omah Lay

Libianca: A collaborative message of empathy on an Afrobeat anthem

Mondays can be tough, especially when you're already three months into a new year and feel like you're losing sight of the good intentions you set for yourself. It's easy to get caught up in the day-to-day tasks and forget what's truly important in life, like the people around you. That's why today's One of One serves as a timely reminder to check in on your friends and family.

Libianca, a singer from Cameroon, released her first single since signing to RCA Records at the end of 2022. The song quickly gained popularity and has racked up over 100 million streams on Spotify alone. The song's success can be attributed to its relatable message of noticing small changes and cries for help from friends who may be putting up a positive front. It has a spiritual quality to it that serves as both a reminder and an aid for those going through tough times.

Libianca teamed up with Ayra Starr and Omah Lay, two Nigerian artists who have made a name for themselves in recent years, to release a brand new remix of the smash hit last Friday. The verses seamlessly flow into the already stunning song, creating a vibe that you can't help but dance along to.

The remix of "People" debuted at number two on the US Afrobeats charts and solidified Libianca's position as an artist to watch from Cameroon. Her infectious energy and surprise at the success of the song are evident in interviews, and it's hard to believe such a sad song can come from someone with such a positive outlook on life.

As we begin another busy week, it's important to take a moment to check in on those around us. The people we love and care about may be going through things that aren't immediately apparent, and a simple check-in could mean the world to them. Take a listen to Libianca's "People" and let it serve as a reminder to stay connected to the important people in your life.
