Black Coffee & Karyendasoul - Any Other Way (feat. Zhao) Apr 2026

Co-produced by Karyendasoul, the song begins with a restrained, hypnotic groove before "exploding" into multi-layered futuristic synths.

Zhao provides soulful, haunting lyrics like "Stranger calls from the edge of the night / Feelin' the dark, feelin' the light" .

The track is characterized by its "Afropolitan house" sound—a mix of traditional African percussion and metropolitan techno.

It carries the signature "melancholy energy" often found in Black Coffee’s work, balancing deep chords with a driving rhythm.
