Breakout Panamanian artist, Akim, releases his newest R&B-inspired song “Tusi,” through Carbon Fiber Music. The romantic track follows in the footsteps of the Urbano performer’s successful song “Merfi” featuring rappers Chamaco, Konshens, and Mavado, and his collaboration with fellow “Carbon Fiber Gang” member Milly on his song “Dime.” “Tusi,” along with its official video, is available for streaming today on all digital platforms.

In stark contrast to his song “Merfi,” Akim flips the script yet again and makes an altogether distinct and meticulous decision to go in a different direction and produce something that further exhibits and solidifies his versatility as an artist. “Tusi”, produced by Rike Music, has a strong focus on the romantic elements that have been long associated with R&B and pop ballads — elements that can also be seen in his other romantic tracks like “Bella Bella” and “Bae.” The Panamanian singer-songwriter pays homage to the woman that knows her worth and the power that she has on those around her while being vehemently unapologetic about her sensuality.

The video was filmed in Panama and was directed by Cristian Aguilar J. The video highlights the feel that Akim achieved with his lyrics and music and uses warm tonalities along with soft filters that add a slightly ethereal and surreal feel.

“The song was created in the Dominican Republic in a Carbon Fiber Music Camp with Rike Music. My experience filming the video was funny, but at the same time very provocative as I had to play a part in a couple of intimate scenes with the model where there was almost a kiss, but the vibe was always at 100%,” shared Akim.

Akim has been conquering fans of the Urbano and Latin genres for over a decade prior to being brought onto the critically acclaimed Carbon Fiber Music record label in 2019. Since then, his career has been on the fast track with hits like “Otra Baby” with Dalex, Béele & Boza which has over 16.23 million views on YouTube and 17.7 million streams; both “Amor duele» and its remix alongside the “Carbon Gang” members Milly, Menor Menor, Ankhal, Lary Over and the legendary Farruko; “Sin ti” with Menor Menor and Lary Over which has over 3.69 million views on Youtube and 950 thousand combined streams; and “Paredes de hielo” with Farruko and Ankhal which has over 16.77 million views on YouTube and 5 million streams. His song “BAE” has garnered over 1.61 million views on YouTube and over 78.1K streams on Spotify, his song “Bella Bella» accrued over 349k views and 255.6K streams on Spotify, and “Merfi” featuring Chamaco, Konshens, and Mavado has garnered over 738k views on YouTube and 125.2K streams on Spotify. Akim is currently working on his highly anticipated first studio album slated for release early 2022.
