Episode 2293: FATi Queen ~ BET Vocalist, Actress, Producer Talks Her Unique Take on Musical Heritage & Future
BET Networks
"Well, my name is FATi because I’m sweet, short, and petite. I was born in Liberia raised in the Ivory Coast but grew up in St. Louis, Missouri. As soon as I was born, I wasn’t crying, I was singing (laughs) so pretty much all my life.
FATi means love and faith, its perfect because I’m living in my faith. I’m living in my purpose now."
Born in Liberia West Africa, FATi’s family tree is deeply rooted in artistic expression. Her musical heritage includes jazz vocalist and songwriter, Senabella, The Bronzevilla Diva, a great-grandmother who was a celebrated jazz singer in the ’40s, a grandmother who is a published author in Africa, and an uncle, Robert Kool Bell of Kool and the Gang.
FATi’s sound blends elements of R&B, hip-hop, reggae, and soul with cool savors of Afro-pop into infectious concoctions of superbly delicious music. Her music video for “Queen” surges with potent dynamics, while her previous hit video, “L.O.V.E. Love,” simmers with sultry soul and R&B flavors.
From one angle, FATi’s “QUEEN” is an audacious production: it fuses hip-hop and R&B with drums, brass, and lead guitar suggestive of Afropop, and matches it with a sparkling, warm-weather vibe suitable for any Tropical playlist. From another angle, it’s all perfectly consistent. The track feels less like a balancing act and more like a homecoming.
Afro-Pop recording sensation has recently released an Island vibe single, entitled “L.O.V.E. Love”, inspired by the sun, water and beauty of the beach in West Africa, and the universal joy of love. The song is a prelude to her next single, an anthemic song of inspiration called “Queen.” Both are releases from her new album, “Give Me More”, named because once you hear it you will desire more, and more and more.
Chances are, a talent as audacious as FATi would find an audience anywhere on earth. Right now, she’s tearing up the music scene in Kenya, Ghana, and the Ivory Coast, and she’s established herself as an exciting new voice in one of the undisputed centers of musical culture in the world. She’s absorbed and synthesized all of the traditions of Liberia and Abidjan – the local heritage, the colonial influences, the fascination with American pop – and she’s making sounds that are wholly her own.
"I want to dedicate my single, “L.O.V.E” to Nipsey Hussle. I want to send love and light to those who were affected by his passing."
