Petite Noir - "Simple Things (feat. Theo Croker)" from the 2023 album MotherFather on Roya.

Petite Noir (real name: Yannick Ilunga) shares a message of empowerment on today's Song of the Day. 

“’Simple Things’ is about taking back your power,” the Congolese artist states in a press release. “It’s a song for the people, to embrace harmony, reject division, and recognise that freedom comes from within.”

The track features trumpet from Grammy-nominated, Floridian jazz musician Theo Croker, and will appear on his forthcoming sophomore LP MotherFather, out April 14th via Roya Records. It'll be his first new release since 2018's mini-album La Maison Noir / The Black House, and his 2020 singles “Alive” and “Through the Bad Times.”
