Kosovar-Albanian pop sensation Era Istrefi links up with Nigerian-American DJ and producer DJ Tunez on a smooth new single titled “Alive.”
This is not her first time crossing into global collaboration territory. Era already made waves internationally with “BonBon” and the 2018 World Cup anthem “Live It Up,” so teaming up with an Afrobeats name like DJ Tunez feels like a natural next step in her ongoing crossover journey.
DJ Tunez, who has spent years building his reputation through Starboy Entertainment, brings his signature Afrobeats touch to the production here. Because his sound blends house, R&B, and dancehall so naturally, the record carries that smooth, easy rhythm fans expect from him.
The chemistry between an Albanian pop voice and Nigerian Afrobeats production might sound unusual on paper. However, that contrast is exactly what makes “Alive” an interesting listen – two different worlds meeting in one record.
Stream “Era Istrefi – Alive Ft. DJ Tunez” today and experience the East-meets-West energy.
