🎧 “Can’t Lose” – and it’s doing exactly that

There are some records that feel good… and then there are the ones that arrive with intent.
“Can’t Lose” by Adjua Mensah is firmly the latter.

Freshly released and already making waves, the track has landed a spot on the BBC Radio Wales Welsh A-List — a platform known for spotlighting the most exciting emerging talent in Wales. Safe to say… it’s off to a flying start 🚀

🌊 A sound that refuses to sit still

Adjua is part of a new wave of artists redefining genre boundaries.
“Can’t Lose” glides between R&B, Afro influences, jazz textures and neo-soul warmth — not as a patchwork, but as a seamless, confident sound.

There’s a quiet self-assurance in the track. It doesn’t shout for attention. It knows it has it.

🎙️ Behind the scenes at COBRA

We had the absolute pleasure of recording and engineering “Can’t Lose” at COBRA Music Studios, shaping the track from raw performance to polished release.

From the very first takes, it was clear this was something special. The vocal tone, the musicality, the intention behind every line… it all clicked early. Sessions like that have a certain energy — the kind where everyone in the room knows they’re capturing a moment, not just a recording.

The final touches came together with:

  • Mixing by Jordan Day-Williams

  • Mastering by Hafod Mastering

Every layer carefully crafted to let the track breathe while still hitting with clarity and depth.

✍️ A powerhouse creative team

Behind every great record is a team — and this one is stacked.

“Can’t Lose” was written and produced by:

  • Adjua Mensah

  • Izzy Hereyet

  • Gareth Giles

  • Frances Bolley

A collaboration that feels both tight and expansive — each influence adding colour without ever overcrowding the canvas 🎨

📡 From studio to airwaves

Landing on the Welsh A-List is no small feat. It means regular daytime rotation, wider reach, and a serious stamp of approval.

For an independent Cardiff artist, that kind of exposure can be a turning point — and honestly, it couldn’t have happened to a more deserving record.

✨ This is just the beginning

“Can’t Lose” isn’t just a strong release — it feels like the opening chapter of something much bigger.

We’re incredibly proud to have played a part in bringing it to life, and even more excited to see where Adjua goes next.

If this track is anything to go by…
there’s a lot more winning ahead 👀🔥
