Phola, the rising star in R&B, is back with a new single that will make you fiend for more. Sweet Taboo is a song that showcases Phola’s versatility and creativity as a singer and songwriter. It is also a song that has a unique story behind its creation. Unlike her usual songs inspired by real-life moments, “Sweet Taboo” came to life during an Instagram live session at BigfootInYourFace studio. Phola, watching Bigfoot craft a beat for another artist, felt drawn to the rhythm. She came up with a hook on the spot and recorded it on her phone. Taking the idea to Bigfoot, he agreed to create a new beat for her.
Armed with just her phone and headphones, Phola dove into the creative process. She penned and recorded the first verse on the spot. The second verse flowed effortlessly as a freestyle, with the lyrics coming together later. After Bigfoot woke up from a nap, they polished off the track and went live on Instagram, sharing the magic with fans.
Enter Rukus, the talented rapper and singer, who heard the song during the IG live and wanted to be part of it. Bigfoot quickly shared the stems, and by morning, Rukus had added his verse. Thus, “Sweet Taboo” was complete—a masterpiece blending R&B and hip-hop, celebrating the power of musical collaboration.
