A LOVE THAT NEVER DIES: THE GOODWINE’S “KAYA” IS HERE
The GoodWine, a Nigerian duo based in London, are redefining Afro-fusion with music born from shared experiences, love, and spiritual reflection.
With every harmony, they weave their bond, questions, and quiet revelations into something sacred.
After the acclaimed ACTS (Deluxe) in 2024, their new EP KAYA explores home as an encompassing theme of life, love, and God.
KAYA draws meaning from the Zulu word “home” and the Igbo word “Tell It”. Through this project, they’ve lived up to the name, telling the stories of home in all its forms: love, relationships, heartbreak, the second coming of Christ, thanksgiving, and more. KAYA is a six-track journey that flows effortlessly between language and emotion.
From the title track’s poetic Igbo lyric, “Ụlọm di na eligwe mara mma, ọnwụ adịghị ya” (My home in heaven is beautiful, and there’s no death there), to the tender reassurance of Ezinna, with its soft melodies and the probing question, “Who is a good father?”, the project invites deep reflection. Junita shines as peak storytelling, bringing the parable of the ten virgins to life over a beat that blurs the lines between genres.
What makes KAYA soothing is its ability to balance intimacy with universality. Whether it’s the friendship for the lonely that “You” brings, the thanksgiving and beginner’s guide to joyful dancing in “Jo”, or the golden handwritten love letters of “Darling”, every song feels like a shared moment.
The GoodWine don’t just sing about faith, they live it in each note, each harmony, each pause. Their sound is organic and warm, never forced, always rooted in real life.
“We believe our new era folk music is one for all and connects us all in many ways than we imagine. Our music is a listener’s journey on life, faith and love” – The GoodWine.
With Kaya, The Goodwine are extending a hand to the seeker, the lover, the believer. This is music that doesn’t shout, but speaks softly, and lingers long after the last note fades.
