After a tragic car accident in September 2014, Kenyan rapper Wangechi returns with "Analogue Dreams," featuring Camp Mulla singer Karun.
<p>In August 2014 Kenyan rapper <a href="http://www.okayafrica.com/tag/Wangechi/" target="_blank"><strong>Wangechi</strong></a> shared the <a href="http://www.okayafrica.com/news/wangechi-kenyan-rapper-play/" target="_blank">smooth first single</a> from her self-titled debut album, scheduled for release by the end of the year. Not long after, though, a <a href="http://www.standardmedia.co.ke/entertainment/article/2000134953/female-rapper-wangechi-continues-to-improve-after-surviving-horror-crash" target="_blank">tragic car accident</a> in September (which resulted in the death of Wangechi's best friend), left the young musician critically injured at Nairobi Hospital. Now on a <a href="http://www.ghafla.co.ke/news/music/item/26657-i-am-now-ready-to-recover-announces-rapper-wangechi-after-her-last-surgery-plus-a-cuuuute-photo-baby-photo-of-her" target="_blank">road to recovery</a>, Wangechi returned on her 21st birthday last week with "Analogue Dreams," an impassioned yet relaxed electro-rap song featuring former <a href="http://www.okayafrica.com/tag/Camp-Mulla/" target="_blank"><strong>Camp Mulla</strong></a> singer <strong>Karun</strong>. <span class="Apple-style-span">Produced by frequent Wangechi collaborator/manager <strong><a href="https://twitter.com/kevinprovoke" target="_blank">Kevin Provoke</a></strong> and co-written with Karun back in August, the track is the first in a slew of releases to come this year. </span>"I have a Wangechi sessions project coming up which is based around my life at this moment," Wangechi told Okayafrica. "Mostly a gift to my fans for everything they've helped me through. I also have videos I'm working on for both released singles and unreleased singles. Still working on getting my album out this year, immediately when I get back to studio after my health picks up." Look out for more from Wangechi soon.
