Following the release of ‘Party Up (Up in Here)’ featuring DMX, mysterious producer collective DARKO have released their new single ‘Ready For Love’ featuring Mahkenna, dropping on Tuesday, March 26th.
A instant dance/pop crossover hit, the song is lead by strong horns, a thumping bassline, percussive beats, and a powerful vocal performance by Mahkenna. DARKO’s production is perfectly complemented by talents of the up-and-coming singer.
DARKO’s collaboration with Mahkenna was a very organic pairing since the two linked up. The 17 year singer has been featured on tracks with Dannic and The Golden Pony reaching over 3 million Spotify plays. Mahkenna is currently being vocal coached by Seth Riggs, who’s one of the industry’s greatest vocal coaches who has worked with Prince, Madonna, Stevie Wonder, Ray Charles and more.
DARKO is an LA based team that was established in early 2018 and signed to the ADIO Music Group. Since the release of their first single ‘No Names’ featuring Evante and Mozzy, they’ve been in much demand working solid all year round. DARKO recently performed at SXSW at the Colours Couture showcase, and will be attending 2019’s Miami Music Week.
‘Ready For Love’ featuring Mahkenna is just the start for DARKO. Next up on their release schedule is their collaboration with Destructo, ‘Hustler’, featuring the vocals of legendary Ice-T out on Wednesday, March 27th. Over the next 4 months, DARKO has releases lined up with Riff Raff, Tyga, Aliana Lohan, and Christina Milian.
