This week’s New Music Friday is led by a strong mix of Afrobeats veterans and rising stars. Timaya reunites with Duncan Mighty on Kontrol, while Victony drops highly anticipated single, SLICK. Kemuel opens a new chapter with Osei Baby, the lead single from his forthcoming project, and FAVE joins Chike on Miss You from RnBling. KOJO BLAK keeps his momentum going with Bounce, while Karbad delivers the hard-hitting ADURO.
The collaborations continue throughout the week. Kold AF links with ODUMODUBLVCK on 4 by 4!, Victor AD joins Babyboy AV on Level, and Nasty C teams up with Tellaman and Oxlade on Come Over from T’s & C’s Apply.
SuperSmashBroz recruit Nonso Amadi and Kkeda for Relocate, while VVS assembles Siraheem, Blnde, Romi, and Wavy The Creator on Kolobi from Descendants.
The week also shines a light on emerging voices. Boy Muller returns with Gbewa, Tijani shares D.O.E, DTP delivers Gidi Bounce, and Mr Honey releases D Same. IkeN contributes Heaven On Earth, while Otega keeps things moving with O’clock. WizTheMc adds Falling Stars, and Abefe offers the heartfelt Yaweh from Abefe (Begged To Be Loved).
Across the broader release slate, Beyoncé shares Morning Dew from Donk, Sean Paul joins Zimi on Do It, Sarkodie links with Kweku Smoke on Major League, and Future returns with Fukk A Interview from The Real Me. Kelela reunites with PinkPantheress on the bridge, while ARTSALGHUL, Yörkk, Egertton, and The Parlour Tapes each bring their own distinct sounds to the week.
From Afrobeats and hip hop to R&B, amapiano, and alternative music, this week’s releases continue to highlight the diversity of today’s global music landscape, with collaborations across Africa and beyond driving another exciting release week.
