Today's Song of the Day, as chosen by Kevin Cole, host of The Afternoon Show on KEXP, is "Alive" by Petite Noir & Kingdom, from the 2020 single CoeurWorld on Roya Records.
South African artist Petite Noir [real name: Yannick Ilunga] has teamed up with Los Angeles-based producer Kingdom for the new double A-side single CoeurWorld.
In a press release, Ilunga declared, “I have been a huge fan of Kingdom since the early Fade to Mind days and I was very excited for this collaboration as it sparked new ideas for the future. CoeurWorld is an EP dedicated to sending love out to the world during these trying times.”
