JONASKAY, an Angolan-Congolese artist living in France, is once again out with the release of his sixth single, “TELL ME WHY.” This emotional R&B track is a collaboration with singer AMIRV and showcases a fusion of smooth vocals and introspective lyrics over a beat produced by The French Tailor, a talented beatmaker from Amiens.
JONASKAY, known for his unique Afrofusion sound, brings together a mix of Portuguese, Lingala, French, and touches of English to create music that blends the diverse influences of his upbringing. His signature style merges Urban Afrobeat with soulful melodies, resulting in a dynamic and multicultural sound that reflects his personal journey. Born in Congo, raised in Angola, and living in France since 2016, JONASKAY has crafted a distinct musical identity, combining playfulness with deep introspection.
Produced by LE PASSE MURAILLE and published by EYAYA, JONASKAY’s music has garnered attention for its infectious energy and heartfelt messages. In 2023, he gained support from LA LUNE DES PIRATES (SMAC of Amiens) as part of their prestigious “Objectif Lune” program, solidifying his presence in the French music scene.
“TELL ME WHY” stands out as a heartfelt collaboration between JONASKAY and AMIRV, an emerging artist who made her debut in 2023 with the single “Beau Garçon.” AMIRV first started her musical journey in 2020 by posting covers on Instagram, quickly capturing attention with her rich vocals and relatable lyrics. Together, the two artists seamlessly blend their individual styles, creating a track that resonates with listeners on an emotional level. The song was recorded at L’Etoile du Sud and is accompanied by a visually stunning music video directed by the talented filmmaker Maël Gueneau.
“TELL ME WHY” is a conversation between two artists expressing vulnerability and asking big questions about love and life. With JONASKAY’s smooth delivery and AMIRV’s soulful voice, the track offers a delicate balance of Afrofusion rhythms and modern R&B vibes, appealing to a broad audience. The production by The French Tailor adds a polished yet organic feel, making the song both contemporary and timeless.
