“Moments takes listeners through an emotional Journey of high and mid-tempo songs with intentional storytelling. It captures major life scenarios including highs of the nightlife and night to night encounters. It will have you dancing like you’re having a night out for drinks or reflecting on a love lost… in a happy way!”
MBAA Moments EP
This is the second music project released by the cohort of the 2021 Music Business Academy for Africa Talent Project. The cohort, for its second project, has released Moments EP that shows the rich vocal growth and versatility of the talents since they joined the program and reflects the journey of the students who wore their hearts on a sleeve, stood in the fire and learnt to cook, to students who’ve grown in experience and share their Moments with the world. The first project was called ‘Heart On A Sleeve’ and embodied how the cohort wore their hearts to show up in running MBAA ‘21 in a simulated record label structure, the project garnered more than 10,000 streams across all platforms.
For a talent project that had more than 300 submissions where the entire cohort voted and chose its best 5 from 15 talents who were selected by the AnR team of iManage Africa. These talents have grown and it’s shown in the expressivity of their truth; more confidently and expressly than when the cohort first listened.
More than just telling their own story as talents picked for the Talent Project, they’ve helped the members of the cohort tell their stories, especially running the program with all the luggage life daily gives each to carry.
