Kenyan singer-songwriter Maya Amolo returns with a heartfelt ode to love and emotional ease on her latest single, “Guidance,” released today, May 29th, 2025.
Known for her sultry vocals and introspective lyricism, Maya continues to blur the lines between alternative R&B and Afro-pop masterfully, and “Guidance” is no exception.
The track is a gentle, soul-soothing piece that encapsulates the comfort and clarity found in a trusting relationship. It’s less about grand romantic gestures and more about the soft, often unnoticed moments that make everyday life feel sacred with the right person by your side.
This release marks another powerful addition to Maya Amolo’s growing discography. Since her 2020 debut project Leave Me At The Pregame, which detailed a journey of healing and self-acceptance, Maya has carved out a space for nuanced, emotionally honest storytelling. Her 2022 debut album Asali delved deep into themes of love and infatuation, resonating with listeners through its delicate blend of vulnerability and strength.
A rising voice in East Africa’s alt-R&B scene, Maya has been spotlighted by global platforms like NPR, The Native Mag, Okay Africa, and more. She was Spotify Africa’s inaugural Fresh Finds artist in 2022, participated in the first COLORSxSTUDIOS writing camp on the continent, and was recognized as Apple Music’s East Africa Up Next artist in 2023.
