While rare, every once in a while a song comes along that so organically resonates with audiences the world over. Libianca's People is one of those songs.
Having spent an incredible six weeks atop the UK's Official Afrobeats Chart so far - and edging ever-closer to the Official Singles Chart Top 10 - People's showing no signs of slowing down just yet.

I'm just going to keep letting God work his magic. The goal, for sure, is to release more music. I want to release an EP this year, I really want to get that done.
A tour would be so exciting, too. To play some shows and connect with my
