On The Table Read Magazine, “the best arts and entertainment magazine UK“, BeMyFiasco and Misha deliver pure magic with Aura Gold, an EP that brilliantly fuses 70s disco-funk, Afrobeats, Amapiano, and modern soul into an uplifting love letter to authenticity, passion, and borderless music.
Grammy-nominated North Carolina singer-songwriter BeMyFiasco and acclaimed Finnish producer-artist Misha have unveiled Aura Gold, a radiant cross-continental EP that proves great music knows no borders. Crafted between North Carolina and Finland, the project weaves a richly layered tapestry of 70s funk and disco, 90s R&B and hip-hop, Afrobeats, Amapiano, and modern soul. The result is a luminous, globally-infused sound rooted in radical honesty, courage, and love in all its messy, unapologetic forms.


A Celebration of Creativity, Culture, and Musical Freedom
At its heart, Aura Gold celebrates creativity, culture, and the power of music. It’s what happens when freedom, collaboration, and self-truth collide. BeMyFiasco and Misha, two artists from vastly different worlds, connected the way modern musical soulmates often do—online. Their partnership echoes the groundbreaking legacy of The Foreign Exchange, where Phonte and Nicolay bridged continents through trust and shared vision more than twenty years ago.
From the same North Carolina soil, BeMyFiasco began a similar journey, exchanging emails and ideas with Misha before traveling to Finland to create in community with local musicians. What emerged was more than an EP—it was a shared musical language that transcends geography.
Breaking Down the Tracks on ‘Aura Gold’
The title track “Aura Gold” opens the project with a cinematic, disco-kissed statement. Inspired by the shimmer of the 1970s—sequins, platform shoes, and unapologetic flair—the song embraces joy and simplicity. Produced by Misha, it blends R&B, Afrobeats, and disco into a vibrant, feel-good flow.
Finnish R&B/jazz composer-keyboardist Jussi Halme adds lush harmonic depth, while longtime collaborator cocabona anchors the groove with a fluid bassline. Ville-Veikko Ijäs contributes funky guitar riffs that glide between soul and dancefloor. Background vocals from Finnish R&B and soul powerhouses Heini Ikonen and Jepa Lambert wrap around BeMyFiasco’s lead like a glowing halo, amplifying the song’s message of softness and strength. Funky, fun, and endlessly performative, “Aura Gold” serves as the EP’s shining centerpiece.
“Burning Fire” dives into Afrobeats and Amapiano pulses, capturing the heat of inevitable, all-consuming desire and the unstoppable momentum of passionate love. Paired with the tender “Kind of Love,” the two tracks present dual sides of romance: one spicy and urgent, the other reflective, intimate, and safe in emotional connection.
At the emotional core sits “Back to Myself.” Featuring cocabona on bass and his brother Ville-Veikko on guitar, the song is a powerful declaration of choosing authenticity over performance and expectation.
“Love Come Down” delivers a slow, grounded surrender—meeting love where it is and choosing trust over fear. The EP closes on a high with “Can’t Get Enough,” a rich, sensual celebration of abundance in love, joy, and creative freedom. Jussi Halme returns on keyboards, joined by Grammy award-winning saxophonist Jemarcus Bridges for an elevated, lush finish.
