Why do we like this?

Having recently had my mind blown at a live performance by the marvel that is Zaki Ibrahim, I thought I'd share my favorite song that so harmoniously rolled off her lips. 

"Heart Beat" is taken from the Canadian/South African's 2012 debut album Every Opposite -- a charming and captivating compilation of flavorful sounds, from indie pop to electronica to Afro-beat. Each and every track is sweetly complimented by Zaki's whimsical and soulful voice.   

Canadian house producer Nick Holder handles "Heat Beat" with grace and groove. If you tend to agree and are itching for more, get your eardrums attached to Every Opposite here.
