British singer-songwriter KEKA, of Kosovar descent, returns with “STAY”, a genre-defying single that bridges centuries of tradition with cutting-edge sound. Produced by Luke Gomm, the track is a sonic tapestry—sampling a 500-year-old Albanian folk song and weaving it into a rich blend of afropop, amapiano, electronic textures, and alternative pop.
With KEKA’s signature soulful tone and emotionally charged lyricism, STAY delivers both depth and innovation. Traditional Albanian instruments like the cifteli and clarinet bring an organic touch, grounding the track in cultural authenticity while propelling it toward a global, genre-fluid soundscape.
This release is more than a song—it’s a cultural conversation, brought to life through KEKA’s dynamic artistry. To celebrate and promote the track, KEKA plans a series of live performances across London’s artist community and collaborative visual content featuring dancers and a custom visualizer that reflects the song’s emotional core.
“STAY” is KEKA’s boldest statement yet—a heartfelt blend of identity, innovation, and soul.
