Kenyan electronic pop outfit Just A Band come back after a long silence with "Winning In Life," the first single off their as-of-yet unnamed fourth album. Produced by Blinky Bill, the new track pairs Joe Were's house-influenced keyboards with laid back vocals and features Kenyan-rooted, Seattle-based Owuor Arunga — who plays and tours with Macklemore and Ryan Lewis — on some soaring trumpet fills. There's not much else we know about the group's new album, but we'll keep you updated as we get more info. For more on these acts, check out our feature on Just A Band's Winter Journey To New York City and revisit our Okayafrica TV episode with Owuor Arunga backstage throughout Macklemore's Heist Tour underneath.
