Vocal production was done by Fehdah (Loah’s sister). Additional production by Dublin-based producers SENU and Wastefellow, with backing vocals by Abbacaxi and Bob Gallagher.
Irish/Sierra Leonean singer-songwriter Loah and Cork-based producer Bantum have teamed up on a new collaboration, called 'NGLA' (Never Gonna Love Again).
This year saw Loah’s fortunes change dramatically in light of COVID-19. Instead of emigrating to America to pursue music and acting, she has been working as a pharmacist in Dublin, making contributions to the survival spirit of the year with home recordings and talks on the Black Lives Matter movement.
In fact, 'NGLA' was about to be put on an indefinite back-burner in light of the world turned upside down, but in the spirit of perseverance, Loah and Bantum thankfully decided that the world needed music.
'NGLA' follows 2019’s singles 'April Brave” and 'Summer of Love', and is the prelude to a forthcoming mixtape from the duo. Mutually inspired by ‘wonky funk’, neo-soul and dreamlike production, the track is synth-laden and quirky – the ultimate "sad banger".
