Parisian musical group Mai Kida returns with a brand new track. Their single, “Under the Radar,” is an explosive blend of afrobeat, dance-pop, and afro-house, a tantalizing call to move, feel, and give in to the music. “Under the Radar” swoops in like a fresh breeze, caressing listeners in a pulsing and hypnotic rhythm finely tuned to the body’s vibrations. This sensory experience is a free expression of movement, liberation, and survival.
Mai Kida, whose name translates from the Houassa tongue in Niger to “the energy of the body,” embodies their name in every beat of this song. The song’s production is simultaneously complex and effortless, melding layer upon layer of percussions, deep basslines, and glimmering melodies that teleport listeners directly to the center of a neon-soaked dancefloor. The groove is irresistible, but the message beneath the music gives it meaning.
“Under the Radar” is an empowering declaration. The song reminds us nothing is bigger than the spirit through its pulsing rhythm and poetic lyrics. It is a celebration of resilience, of navigating life’s challenges with rhythm and grace. The track urges audiences to embrace their vibe, free themselves from restrictions, and dance through whatever obstacle crosses their path.
Mai Kida is a force to be reckoned with in the evolving music landscape, boasting an earful of international and intensely personal sound. Mesmerizing their chemistry in this effortless melding of cultures and sounds, finding a whole new song and iteration of themselves. For those searching for a song that also gets the feet moving while powering the soul, “Under the Radar” provides the ideal soundtrack.
