In a delightful birthday surprise for fans, independent alternative R&B and electronic maven AKA KELZZ drops their latest single, “Don’t Feel Real,” in collaboration with long-time creative ally RAFA MURA. This melodic deep house anthem emerges as a beacon amidst these uncertain times.
“Don’t Feel Real” embodies the tension of modern existence, conveying feelings of helplessness and disconnection while simultaneously offering hope and resilience. The track is layered with warm basslines, immersive synth textures, and a grounding groove that moves bodies through the harshest of winters, both literal and metaphorical. It’s a piece that captures the essence of our fragmented realities: introspective yet energising, melancholic yet uplifting.

“Life doesn’t feel one-dimensional,” reflects AKA KELZZ. “You can feel lost and hopeful at the same time. You can be tired but still want to dance. That’s what this track holds.” After nurturing the record for over two years, AKA KELZZ and RAFA MURA consciously chose to release it as an enduring experience, a reflection of their commitment to building sustainable community ties.
Exclusively available on Bandcamp for the first month, “Don’t Feel Real” invites listeners to directly support independent artistry and engage with the music authentically. Following this intimate launch, the track is available on selected streaming platforms, reinforcing KELZZ’s dedication to fostering deeper connections with their audience.
As they step away from the digital noise, KELZZ is redefining their approach, seeking meaningful interactions beyond algorithms and trends. “Don’t Feel Real” is more than just a house track; it’s an open invitation to feel, to move, and to carve out spaces of joy and acceptance in a world that often feels fragmented.
