Singuu
A supercharged African music blog: new albums, videos, news and a community around them.
The challenge
African music fans had to hop between blogs, YouTube and social media to keep up with new releases and talk about them.
What we designed
We brought albums, videos and news into one app with a warm gold-and-charcoal look, search with pull-to-refresh, players for audio and video, comments and private messages.
- 10 iOS screens
- Home feed and search
- Audio and video players
- News with comments
- Messaging
See Singuu in motion
A short launch film we made for Singuu: the real screens in motion, a voice-over and an original soundtrack. Ready for the App Store preview, Instagram Reels, TikTok and YouTube Shorts.
- Vertical 9:16, made for social
- Professional voice-over and music
- Built from the final app designs
