Kitty Amor and AWEN's New Afro-House Anthem Is a Rallying Cry for Sisterhood

With her latest track, Kitty Amor has crafted a musical balm for the soul, reminding us that we find our greatest strengths in our shared humanity.

The London-based DJ and Afro-house trailblazer has returned with "The Answer," out now under her own Mahaba Music banner, a part of Defected Records' family of labels. The empowering single features surging singer-songwriter AWEN, who has collaborated with Cristoph, Keinemusik's Adam Port and other influential dance music producers.

Propelled by a driving beat, the song's sparse yet poignant lyrics paint a vivid picture of climbing hills and the collective catharsis that follows when we reach the top together. AWEN's voice, tinged with both vulnerability and authority, carries us through a lyrical battlefield of suppressed emotions and societal expectations: "All those hours spent on thinking that I had to smile, hide and lie / God knows I tried," she laments.

But thanks to its chorus about the buoyancy of true sisterhood, "The Answer" is more than just a dancefloor filler—it's a timely reminder of the masks we wear and the liberation found in shedding them. As the track builds on that emboldening hook, Amor's potent Afrobeat production transforms its arrangement into a chest-thumping rallying cry for sisterly solidarity.

"The Answer" is the first single to release from Amor's debut album, which is still in development but expected to land in 2025, according to a press release issued by Defected. Check out the track below and find it on streaming platforms here.
