By Published November 03, 2024

Nailah Blackman's talent and ability to capture exceptional moments continue to impress. In this case, she has gone back to the future from a cultural point of view. This is not a Soca track, but rather a track reminiscent of her ancestral homeland, featuring Afrobeat music specifically for her fans. Nailah has once again shown her incredible versatility as an artist with her latest release, "Miss Continental," in collaboration with DJ Obi. Fresh from her inspiring trip to Nigeria, Nailah has infused this Afrobeat track with her signature style, creating a fusion that celebrates both African and Caribbean musical traditions.
 
The music creation is on point! Produced by Joshua Chuks Osajiokwoeh (Jaypizzle) and written by Mark Abraham Owoicho (Mark Owi), Okpe Luke Ogabor, Anson Soverall (Anson Pro), and Nailah herself, "Miss Continental" is a vibrant celebration of cultural exchange and musical evolution. The song’s infectious rhythms and catchy hooks are sure to resonate with fans across the globe, showcasing Nailah's talent for blending genres.
 
Her grandfather, Lord Shorty (Ras Shorty I), the creator of Soca, was the inspiration that led Nailah to the world of Soca music; it is indeed a part of a family tradition. However, Nailah's creative spirit has led her on a global musical journey. While Nailah’s heart remains deeply rooted in soca music, her exploration of afrobeats highlights her growth and adaptability as an international artist. "Miss Continental" is more than just a song; it's a testament to her commitment to exploring new sounds and pushing musical boundaries.
 
Growth is always the key to success in the competitive world of music. As she continues to evolve and experiment with different genres, Nailah Blackman proves that music truly knows no borders. Dive into "Miss Continental" and experience the exciting vibe that Afrobeats bring with a tinge of Soca fusion, brought to life by one of the Caribbean’s brightest stars.
