Ranti returns in style with new audio and video single release — “HEARTBEAT” .
After winning the best alternative soft rock music video award at the 2016 NMVA Awards for her debut hit single “Iwe Kiko”, opera performances locally and internationally, topping charts on air with “Iwe Kiko” and “Bamiwo”, one can say 2016 was definitely her year!

Now Ranti is back to give her fans a treat with a new soulful love song called “Heartbeat”.
This time, the classical cross over singer teamed up with ace producer – George Nathaniel and the NMVA award-winning music video director – Adasa Cookey.

“Heartbeat” paints a vivid picture of love in this tropical feel-good, mid-tempo tune with Ranti’s sweet and fluid vocals soaring to nightingale heights. At first listen, it seems like your typical love song, however, “Heartbeat” reveals where her true love lies.
