Polaris Music Prize-winner and 2022 year-end list topper Pierre Kwenders is further celebrating his highly celebrated LP José Louis and the Paradox of Love with a new remix EP that reworks album highlight "No No No."
The original track — produced by Haitian artist Michael Brun — has been treated to three new mixes: one each from Portuguese-Angolan producer Vanyfox, fellow Congolese artists Spilulu and Majoos.
"'No No No' remains one of my favourite songs off of the album," Kwenders said in a release. "It's a true declaration of love where everything and anything is possible, and there are no boundaries."
He continued:
Vanyfox is the future of the Batida sound and has no limits to what he can do. Having him on the remix EP is both an honour and a privilege. We're spreading the love. Spilulu is a pioneer of electronic music in DRC. True veteran of nightlife culture. His rendition of "No No No" is pure dancefloor love anthem! With his smooth and sensual vocals Majoos represents for the new generation of Congolese music. I couldn't be prouder to have them all on this EP.
