Ugandan-born singer and songwriter YangJ Sound is back with a brand-new release that’s already tugging on heartstrings called “Far Away,” dropped this week and is quickly becoming a love anthem for many in long-distance relationships.
Real name Samuel Naminya Egesa, YangJ hails from Kampala but is currently based in Sweden, where he’s been steadily making a name in the international Afrobeat and R&B scene.
Blending Afrobeat, Afro Zouk, Dancehall, and R&B pop, YangJ’s style is fresh, emotional, and full of depth—and “Far Away” is no exception. The new single paints a touching picture of love strained by distance, with YangJ singing about a beautiful woman he cherishes but can’t be with. The emotional honesty and soothing rhythm make the track both catchy and deeply relatable.
Produced by Artin Pro and penned by YangJ himself, “Far Away” showcases not only his vocal range but also his songwriting skills. The official music video is set to drop in about a week, giving fans something to look forward to.
This isn’t YangJ’s first song as he’s known for hits like “Nakakawa” and “Nambi,” and has performed on international platforms including the East West Vibes show at A75 in Stockholm.
