Kenyan R&B Artist Maya Amolo Releases “Guidance,” a Heartfelt New Single

Maya Amolo, a Kenyan singer-songwriter, has returned with her latest single, “Guidance,” which was released today, May 29, 2025, and is a poignant tribute to love and emotional ease.

Maya is renowned for her seductive vocals and reflective lyrics. She continues to deftly blend Afro-pop with alternative R&B, and “Guidance” is no exception. 

It’s a soft, soul-calming song that captures the clarity and comfort of a relationship based on trust. The small, frequently overlooked moments that make daily life feel sacred when the right person is by your side are more important than large love gestures.

With this album, Maya Amolo’s expanding discography gains yet another significant addition. Since her first effort, Leave Me At The Pregame, in 2020, which chronicled a path of self-acceptance and rehabilitation, Maya has established a niche for complex, emotionally open narrative. She explored love and infatuation in depth in her 2022 debut album Asali, which struck a chord with fans due to its nuanced fusion of strength and fragility.

Maya is an emerging star in the alt-R&B scene in East Africa, and international outlets like NPR, The Native Mag, Okay Africa, and others have highlighted her. She was named the first Fresh Finds artist on Spotify Africa in 2022, took part in the continent’s first COLORSxSTUDIOS writing camp, and was named Apple Music’s East Africa Up Next artist in 2023.

Once again demonstrating her ability to capture the intangible, Maya Amolo transforms ephemeral emotions into eternal melodies with “Guidance.” The song is a tribute to lovers, dreamers, and anyone who understands the power of being profoundly noticed.
