BB Thomaz, a German-American musician, emerges onto the New York scene with her distinct blend of Afro beats and Pop melodies. Remaining true to her Nigerian heritage, her music intertwines airy vocals with rhythmic melodies. Her journey began in 2014 with the release of her debut single “Fighter,” followed by tracks like “Brown Sugar to Ya Coffee,” “Don’t Care,” and “Love Is.” Her debut album, “Golden State of Mind” (2022), offers an electrifying fusion of pop and Afro-soul, crafting a dreamscape where love flourishes on the dance floor. Her latest single, “Head Up High,” chronicles her emotional odyssey navigating the loss of her father.

“Head Up High” offers fans a glimpse into BB Thomaz’s vulnerable yet hopeful journey through grief. The song serves as a tribute to those who have lost loved ones, with BB Thomaz reflecting on her bond with her father. Despite her sadness, she finds gratitude in the memories they shared. The track’s production features a smooth, upbeat Afro-pop melody that allows both BB Thomaz and Jean Cyrille to authentically shine. I appreciate how this single serves as a gentle reminder to listeners that even though loved ones may be gone, their presence will always remain.
