A music sensation comes only once so often, possessing a balanced mix of addicting vocals, undeniable stage presence and irresistible songwriting. Fortunately for us, R&B has found it’s newest rising superstar. Welcome Africa Miranda, the refreshing face & sound of the New South.
A native of Montgomery, Alabama, this Cape Verdean beauty’s musical styling is edgy R&B that flirts with Hip-Hop and Rock influences.
Quickly nudging her way to the front and center of attention, Africa’s infectious energy and sound will keep her name in anyone’s mouth after just one listen and look.
Africa’s music highlights the raw emotional honesty and pure power of her voice, while delivering a sensual sound that has a strong focus on melody. Songs like “All I Need”, a mellow, vocally stimulating track asking for a genuinely loving man and “I Like It”, a mid-tempo cut with an infectious melody are flowing with sincerity and earnestness sure to resonate with music lovers of all ages and races. The seductive “Make Love” illustrates Africa’s maturity and tasteful sexual aggressiveness, while “That Girl” demonstrates confident and sassy lyrics looped around fiery harmonies: “If you're looking for a/Keep her mouth shut girl/Don't say nothin' girl/Scared to get buck girl/Keep it movin' cause I ain't what your choosin' boy sorry but that ain't me”.
Africa’s music is weaved with an eclectic range of musical influences such as Mariah Carey, Annie Lennox, R. Kelly, and Chaka Khan. Africa has mastered the art of painting pictures with her music, penning lyrics that reflect upon her successes, failures, loves, and heartbreaks: "I'm a young woman who is still finding herself and my music reflects that”, says Africa. “That's why even though it can be uncomfortable at times, I try to be as honest as possible in my lyrics. Life is a long journey; I just want people to enjoy my music and walk with me for a little while."
An unstoppable force destined for stardom, Africa Miranda is quickly climbing up the ladder of global fame and shows no signs of stopping.

As a ringer, you must be a hula hoop Because my eyes keep winding up around your hips But when you look at me, I lose my concentration And they drop to the floor I pick them up But You look at me again And I pretend to be focusing Really getting into White paint Semi-gloss At a loss for words
Knowing I'll find my nerve If I feel you really smiling at me Hint me if it's mutual
"Neo Soul Would have been a good follow up to the Matrix" I've got jokes Quick To seek out what's behind those... Eyes Turned around so quick Almost caught me by surprise
As a ringer, you must be a hula hoop Because my eyes keep winding up around your hips But when you look at me I lose my concentration And they drop to the floor This game goes around and around In the same motion It's silly fun But still I want to play some more

I know what you're thinking/ You thought I was just like All of the other kids/ Who droll and think slow
Barely 3 foot 10/Off beat/With cheap clothes
Playing stick ball indoors/Winter heat/There it goes
But I can read your mime/Every time/And that lightens my load
I teach bullies in the hall /How to play /"Eat frog" They open their mouths/I throw a pocketful /And dodge
Card board boxes in my room/Became my/"Me, Only Me Lodge" And I make so much noise/When we ride Mom's says/"Get the F__ k out of my dodge"
And you thought I was just another/Little Hip Hop Hobbit Running from my dad/Getting caught throwing water balloons Out of windows
Making you yell/"It's 4 in the morning/You little bastard Shut the hell up and go"
Well I'll forgive you this time/But/You gotta listen to my Mega phone rhyme Stop running /I'mma catch you/You gotta hear this one close
You can spank me later mom's/To record this one right We need alarms/So I had to get my smoke on Sorry about your pot roast
I was born to catch rhymes/And we can eat some other time It's like Jesse the mechanic said/"Don't give up hope And you you little punk/Don't try to drive Until you can see out of windows"
