<p>Chicago&#8217;s blossoming Nigerian-American songstress Nola Adé has partnered with alternative culture tastemaker Afropunk for the <a title="premiere her new single" href="https://soundcloud.com/nolaade/cool-3" target="_blank" rel="noopener">premiere her new single</a> &#8220;Cool&#8221;.</p>
<h3>About the song</h3>
<p>Produced by Brandon Major and Nola herself, the track is a stunning highlight off her upcoming debut EP, THE LOVE DANCE, slated for independent release later this fall.</p>
<p>When asked about the genesis of her latest single, Nola explained,</p>
<p>&#8220;Inspiration, for me, can come from the simplest things. For this song specifically, I was walking on a subway platform in New York, and I heard a horn player playing a variation of the horn part of the song &#8220;Cool Like Dat&#8221; by Digable Planets.</p>
<p>As soon as I heard it, I thought it was pretty dope and I started to freestyle a melody over it, then I developed lyrics from that melody.</p>
<p>I wanted to find a way to merge that jazzy style with Soul/R&;B and <a href="https://unheardunderground.unheardvoicesmag.com/2015/09/16/jphilippe-no-reason-official-music-video/">Hip Hop</a>, and the song transformed into something totally different, and I loved it so much! It is, as you hear it today, a song that embodies who I am as an artist, the different levels of who I am.&#8221;</p>
