They\u2019re lighter, more hopeful, and about letting go of the pain, embracing healing, and looking forward to building a better life for myself. It feels like the closing of one chapter and the beginning of another.\u201d<\/p>\n<h2>Cross-Border Collaboration<\/h2>\n<p>\u201cTaking Me Places\u201d was written during a songwriting camp at <strong>Mavin Studios<\/strong> in Lagos and brings together Nigerian songwriter <strong>Mbryo<\/strong> with South African producers <strong>MashBeatz<\/strong> and <strong>Christer<\/strong>. The track blends contemporary R&amp;B with influences from both countries, highlighting creative exchange across borders.<\/p>\n<p>Mbryo described the session as seamless: \u201cWorking with Nanette was a beautiful experience. It felt like two inseparable friends creating art without borders or restraint. The moment we wrapped that session, we knew we had something special.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Within 24 hours of completing the song, the pair debuted it live at Obi\u2019s House in Lagos. A teaser of the performance quickly surpassed 100,000 views on TikTok.<\/p>\n<h2>Artistic Evolution<\/h2>\n<p>Nanette\u2019s music fuses contemporary R&amp;B, soul, hip-hop, and subtle African influences. The deluxe edition retains the emotional honesty of her earlier work while introducing a brighter, more confident sound. Her debut album <em>Bad Weather<\/em> established her as a self-written and self-produced artist, and she has since collaborated with acts including <strong>Kelvin Momo<\/strong>, <strong>Blxckie<\/strong>, <strong>Nasty C<\/strong>, and <strong>Tellaman<\/strong>. She has also been featured in <a href=\"https:\/\/www.apple.com\/apple-music\/\">Apple Music<\/a>\u2019s ALPHA campaign and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.spotify.com\">Spotify<\/a>\u2019s Ones to Watch, and has performed alongside <strong>Mariah the Scientist<\/strong> and <a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Ella_Mai\">Ella Mai<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>With the deluxe edition and the <a href=\"https:\/\/interspacemusic.com\/blog\/lexsil-and-sbahle-unite-for-new-cross-border-afrobeat-collaboration-shona-malanga\/\">cross-border single<\/a> \u201cTaking Me Places,\u201d Nanette
