Petite Noir Announces New Album MotherFather, Shares Video for New Song: Watch

“Blurry,” featuring Sampa the Great, is the third offering from the Congolese musician’s first full-length since 2015

Congolese musician Petite Noir has announced his second full-length studio album, MotherFather, with a video for the new single “Blurry,” featuring Zambian vocalist Sampa the Great. The new album is due out April 14 via Roya. Check out the full tracklist and the video for “Blurry,” directed by Hector Aponysus, below.

Of the new single, Petite Noir said in a statement: “‘Blurry’ is a song about growth in love. Being ready to take that next step whether it means being together or apart. Sometimes the best thing you can do is just move forward with your life solo. Choosing you above all.”

Sampa the Great added: “I felt so honoured to be able to work with Petite Noir. I’ve looked up to him and his music for a while and I’m truly inspired by his courage in paving the way for alternative musicians in Africa who feel like they don’t fit into one genre or one style.”

MotherFather follows 2015’s La Vie Est Belle / Life Is Beautiful and 2018’s La Maison Noir / The Black House. The record includes two songs that Petite Noir shared last year, “Numbers” and “Simple Things” (featuring jazz trumpeter Theo Croker).
