Kofi Stone unveiled his brand new single ‘Venice,’ a soulful collaboration with BRIT-nominated singer-songwriter Maverick Sabre, out now via Tru Community. Accompanied by a beautifully shot visual directed by Ross Carson, the video follows Stone and Sabre along the shoreline, transporting viewers to a place of serenity, reflection, and quiet escape.
‘Venice’ details a love story through and through – a celebration of intimacy, closeness, and the beauty found in noticing the smallest things about the person you adore. Backed by the warm, luxurious textures of long-term collaborator Maverick Sabre, whose vocals intertwine seamlessly with Kofi’s effortless raps, the track feels both tender and timeless. From Kofi’s opening line, “You are like the sweetest thing I ever seen”, to Sabre’s soaring chorus, “Loving you, only you, never get too far from me, you remind me every day all the words I’m yet to say”, the lyrics affirm love at its purest – and the comfort of a love that feels both grounding and transformative.
Next month will see the release of Kofi’s third album ‘All The Flowers Have Bloomed’. While Hip-hop remains the foundation of his music, the new record is sonically expansive – stretching beyond the genre’s boundaries into Jazz, Soul, Funk, and rich live instrumentation, all fused together with purpose and intention. Kofi is in bloom – having planted the necessary seeds through significant moments of perseverance, vulnerability, and intricate self-reflection, he now stands tall in his growth. This is arguably Kofi at his best: deeply reflective, emotionally raw, and unafraid to confront the relationships, losses, and lessons that have shaped him, while embracing the beauty and sacredness of life.
