Sango - "Tongue Tied (feat. asante)" from the 2022 album Great Lakes Influence on Wright Music Group.

Beloved former-Seattlite Sango recently returned with the mixtape Great Lake Influence in June, two years after the release of SHANGO. Described by the sought-after beatmaker as \\u201cA homage to where I\\u2019m from,\\u201d the collection of songs sees Sango dip his toes in techno-house which is very of the moment, as we\\u2019ve seen Drake and Beyonce also delve into this realm with their recent releases.

Our Song of the Day, \\u201cTongue Tied\\u201d is an excellent example of Sango\\u2019s pristine ability to make something that\\u2019s currently popular still sound fresh and unique. Bringing back frequent collaborator asante on vocals, the track is bright and bubbly and made for the dancefloor. Moving away from his prior South American influences toward more African sounds is a natural move and one that Sango does with ease.

On his website, Sango says, \\u201cI spend a lot of time thinking about how I can change things. I feel change is the first thing we as humans either love or hate. There isn\\u2019t a middle. I took a side and I love change. It challenges me mentally, emotionally, and spiritually. I also figured something out. I can\'t change the world, but I can change my world, which allows others to see inside of it and hopefully I can influence them to feel/do the same, and hopefully that trend goes on to the next person.\\u201d
