Cen C’ Love will be releasing her drum-and-bass heavy EP, Elephant, on October 5. “I’m fully rested and ready to take on the world,” the artiste whose real name is Ngeri Livingston, said. The singer is particularly pleased about the high production values of her self-produced album.

“I’ve been working on the music for this project for a few years. Writing, but mostly producing tracks. I’m a producer before I’m an artiste. I’m a very passionate musician, so it’s important for me to make that statement with any future projects. It’s easy for that to get lost under the hype.” The project will be released via Glasswork 32. Some of the tracks are the lead single, Real Life (Habibi), My Room, and The Devil. “Habibi is about fantasy lovers, a longing for physical connection. I have found myself in those kinds of relationships [with] very strong feelings that surpass the idea of being physical,” said Cen’C Love.

Habibi will be released next week on all digital music platforms. “Habibi can be a virtual computer love connection, a long distance relationship, where we share a spiritual or mental connection, even a crush,” she mused. Cen’C Love wrote and produced all of the album’s songs, as well as played keyboards, guitar, and percussion.

“The elephant is a powerful figure in various traditional cultures, as it symbolises strength, wisdom, and good luck. Further, the elephant has a serious memory and memory is my legacy. It is a culmination of my upbringing in the US, my legacy is the Wailers, my love is reggae music, and plus, mi heavy…” she said, laughing. Elephant is her second EP, coming 17 years after A Little More Time, her first project. Cen’C Love’s only album, Love Letter, was released in 2011. She took a long hiatus from the recording side of the music business and immersed herself in the publishing world as she attempted to regulate the business affairs of her late father, Bunny Wailer, who died in 2021.
