Kell Kay’s new single “Ndalira” drops Friday

Malawi’s Afro R&B sensation Kelly Kambwiri, better known as Kell Kay, is poised to release a new song this Friday.

He will boldly drop the single “Ndalira” while his current chart-topper “Wale” still dominates the airwaves.

Breaking the mold, Kell Kay has decided to bypass the usual industry playbook. While most artists wait for a hit to run its course, Kell Kay believes the timing is right to unveil his second song of the year.

The upcoming track also marks a shift in tone. Whereas “Wale,” which features Zeze and Gibo Pearson, was a vibrant anthem for celebration, “Ndalira” is quieter and more reflective. Patient, calm, and thoughtful.

“Wale” was about celebration, about love that makes you dance. “Ndalira” comes from a different place, quieter, more patient. It’s the kind of song you play when you’re just thinking, Kell Kay explained.

Production credits for “Ndalira” go to BFB, while mixing and mastering were handled by Tricky Beats.
