When asked about the inspiration behind “Soul Searching”, Afterz share, “The song is about the moment when you’ve finally arrived in front of what you’ve been searching for in life, whatever that means to you personally, and the feeling just before you are about to embrace it.”

Azekel adds, “Working with Afterz is a way for me to express a different side of myself – one that incorporates Afro styles and disco/electro. It’s building on the Afro disco sound I’ve been working on. It’s a new sound, a new vibe and identity working with Afterz.”
