Portuguese-Angolan artist, Luzingo is known for his unique mix of hip-hop and electronic music. He has now launched the first single, Glória‘/’Só(u,‘ taken from his highly anticipated second EP titled ‘Ego’, which will be released at the end of September. ‘Glória‘/’Só(u)‘ is a double track offering about the artist’s relationship with music, life, and the two sides of his own personality.

According to Luzingo, ‘Glória’ and ‘Só(u)‘ are two sides of the same coin. He explains – ” ‘Glória’ represents the part that makes me fight for my dreams with complete confidence. ‘Só(u)’ represents the most vulnerable part of myself that I don’t show to everyone. Both are important to keep my balance as a human being”.

Written and produced by the artist himself, the single is a modern, dynamic, and at the same time, dark hip-hop, that blends perfectly with elements of alternative music. It is, without a doubt, a journey into his interior that anticipates what can be expected from the upcoming new EP. “Ego” will be retrospective and totally personal, and promises to reveal a different side of Luzingo.

Gloria/Só(u)‘ is now available on all digital platforms HERE
