Mikano Akwa II' Out Today | Shares Video "Touché Coulé”,

Today MIKANO releases AKWA II marking a return to MIKANO’s purest form of creation. A raw and explosive EP, AWKA II was produced by Eestbound (Travis Scott, Young Thug, Lil Dicky). MIKANO also shares the video for his new single, “Touché Coulé”, out today.

MIKANO has been lucky enough to visit the four corners of the world during the first part of his life. At the age of 17, his family settled down in Paris, where he began to compose and write, inspired by the music that touched him at each stage of his life and his travels. The AKWA trilogy is named after one of the districts of Douala in Cameroon where he is originally from and sees MIKANO subtlety digest and dilute all of the influences which formed him as an artist in order to create something unique.

On AKWA II MIKANO gets more intimate, taking the listener from one extreme to another, from a song tinged with sweetness, vulnerability and fantasy to something inflated with roughness and overly confident energy, portraying the complexity of our personal growth and our relationships.

The AKWA trilogy follows MIKANO’s 2018 release, Blind Man Dreams and 2020’s Melting Balloons, which both put him on the radar of the French and international music industry and positioned him as an artist who crossovers genres.

AKWA II is out now.
