Haitian-American artist KANIS and Trinidadian-American artist LATENIGHTJIGGY deliver a genre-blending gem with their latest single, “Close Enough,” a track that combines their multicultural backgrounds into an infectious, bilingual celebration of sound. With Kénsel Tell Them handling production, the song layers elements of Caribbean rhythms with a fresh “Chopped & Screwed” twist, creating a dynamic track that feels both seductive and rhythmically complex. “Close Enough” is an invitation to let go and embrace the sonic fusion that speaks to both artists’ heritage, bridging the gap between cultures and resonating with listeners worldwide.

Accompanying the release is a visually captivating music video directed by Michael Russell, set in Miami’s vibrant Little Haiti neighbourhood. Through cinematic shots, KANIS and LATENIGHTJIGGY take viewers on a journey through the heart of this culturally rich area, capturing the essence of the single’s energy and setting. The video’s visuals complement the track’s immersive quality, blending scenes of intimate street gatherings and neon-lit nighttime visuals, amplifying the chemistry between the two artists. Russell’s direction brings a compelling, almost cinematic feel that highlights both the music’s warmth and the artist’s charisma.

The song itself showcases the seamless bilingual interplay between KANIS and LATENIGHTJIGGY, who fluidly transition between English and Spanish, adding layers of intimacy and international appeal. Both artists bring their lyrical heritage to the forefront, infusing the song with Caribbean influences while exploring themes of closeness and connection. This bilingual approach not only underscores their cultural roots but adds a refreshing edge that enhances the track’s hypnotic, upbeat vibe. The “Chopped & Screwed” sound woven into the song gives it a unique twist, balancing the sensual tone with an experimental sonic texture.

“Close Enough” succeeds in creating a world that’s both intimate and celebratory, drawing listeners in with its addictive rhythm and cultural depth. KANIS and LATENIGHTJIGGY prove they’re a powerful duo, blending their distinct artistic identities to craft a track that feels authentic and forward-looking. This latest release isn’t just a song; it’s a celebration of Caribbean and Latin influences, a bridge across languages and genres that leaves a lasting impression. With “Close Enough,” KANIS and LATENIGHTJIGGY bring exciting and innovative energy to the international music scene, making this collaboration one to watch.
