Kizzme's New Track

“Only with You” Featuring Qshans

“ONLY WITH YOU” FT. QSHANS

KIZZME

Fortunately, the Covid-19 pandemic seems to be behind us, and things are unlocking for the media and cultural sector. This positive evolution has been immediately felt by the afro-Caribbean music collective KIZZME. The group recently released their third single titled “Only With You,” featuring the popular Curacaoan singer Qshans. Only With You” is a sensual blend of konpa, zouk, and a Curacaoan fusion called “ritmo kombina”, with an interesting international flavor. The song was written by Qshans, M. Ray Bass and AJ GRAND, the latter also being the composer and producer of the track.

“Only With You” was created by AJ GRAND during the pandemic. Particularly during those tough times, he felt the need to write a song about forgiveness (in relationships), as life can have its twists and turns. The demo was sent to M. Ray Bass, who immediately grasped the concept and added beautiful, powerful lyrics to the chorus. Subsequently, Qshans was contacted, and after hearing the concept, he went straight to the studio and wrote the rest of the lyrics in half an hour.

Qshans, former singer of the group “Cache Deluxe,” experienced collaborating with KIZZME as a “breath of fresh air” on the Dutch Caribbean music scene. He is currently working hard on his solo career and has recently released various singles such as “Basila Riba Mi” with Kevv, “No Tratami Asina” with Stanley Clementina, and “Mas Mi Draai” with Ivanhoe Willems.

The song “Only With You” has been well-received so far. In just a few days, it reached 40,000 views on YouTube. It was even covered by the talented Ghanaian TikTok influencer kaos_conny, who translated part of the song from Papiamentu to English for her followers. To top it off, Qshans was invited to the Miss Universe Curaçao 2022 competition to perform “Only With You” live for the first time (Only With You Live at Miss Curacao 2022). The song has also received positive reactions from konpa lovers around the world.
