Date of Release: February 6th, 2023

Length: 17 minutes 18 seconds

Details/Takeaway: The six-track EP, ‘Rehikanation’, showcases Hika’s versatility and includes intro tracks ‘Hika’, ‘Mata’, ‘Let Me Know’, ‘Ijo ft Master Yen’, ‘Ajasco’, and ‘Hosanna’. Each track has its own unique sound and vibe, including love, happiness, dance, and introspection. Hika describes the EP as a renovation of the old-school sound, reincarnated with a fresh twist.

The first track, ‘Hika’, is a positive and confident introduction to the young artist. The second track, ‘Mata’, expresses gratitude for hard work paying off. “Let Me Know” is a painful discussion about a cheating boyfriend. ‘Ijo’ is a happy dance track, while ‘Ajasco’ is a groovy advice track to work hard but still make time for yourself. The final track, ‘Hosanna’, is all about rejoicing and giving thanks to God.

Hika draws inspiration from the likes of Adele, Camila Cabello, and the late Lucky Dube but remains unique in her own sound. The young recording artist is determined to put Africa on the map with her feel-good Afropop and R&B records. “My kind of song is always one where the vocals are delivered to perfection while the simplicity of the melody will make you want to sing along,” says Hika.
