A song like no other, "Toxic Love" has brought together the soulful classical singer The Souly Bird from Germany and Ghana’s highlife and soul powerhouse, Abiana.

The record is a lush, emotionally rich composition that weaves together melodious pop elements, West African rhythms, angelic opera infusions, and a stirring narrative.

The result is a cinematic musical experience layered with suspense and climax that explores the vulnerability, struggle, and ultimately, the healing power of love.

The Souly Bird was born and raised in Berlin, Germany, but her artistic evolution has been profoundly shaped by her life on the African continent. After spending formative childhood years in Angola and later residing in Benin, she has now found a creative home in Ghana’s capital, Accra.

This cross-continental journey has inspired a deep reconnection with her musical roots, blending European classical and soul traditions with vibrant African pop influences.

Her first major African collaboration came in 2023 with the Showtime Album. The album was a significant entry point into the rhythms of West Africa, all while retaining her distinctive German soul and pop vibe. Since then, The Souly Bird has continued to expand her musical language through powerful collaborations with some of Ghana’s most talented rising stars, including Okyeame Kwame, Josh Blakk, Kwaku Nyame, Fonye, and Abochi offering listeners a unique blend of lyrical German interpretations of West African soul and Afrobeats.

Abiana, the Ghanaian sensation featured on "Toxic Love," brings her own magnetic force to the duet. Known for her powerful and emotionally charged voice, Abiana is a standout figure in Ghana's modern soul and highlife scenes.

Her critically acclaimed single "Mama" which also saw collaboration with The Souly Bird cemented her status as a genre-defying artist capable of evoking deep, universal emotion. With a voice that radiates strength and grace, Abiana's contribution to "Toxic Love" elevates the song to new heights, fusing her rich Ghanaian musical heritage with The Souly Bird’s operatic finesse.

In 2024 and beyond, The Souly Bird continues to position herself as a bridge between continents and cultures, crafting music that feels both intimate and expansive. Her signature element a crystalline, soulful voice draws listeners into a fairytale world inspired by freedom, emotion, and cross-cultural harmony. With "Toxic Love," she and Abiana have created more than just a song it’s a story, a feeling, and a shared journey through love’s most complex layers.
