Kampala, (UG):- Ugandan music lovers are in for an early Christmas treat, as African music icon Bebe Cool real name Moses Ssali announced the release of his first single, Circumference, off his upcoming music album.
Bebe Cool made the announcement at a press conference held Monday, 9th December at the Next Media Park in Naguru – Kampala where he revealed that Circumference will be available on all major streaming platforms this Friday, December 13, 2024.
Produced by Nigerian singer and producer PhilKeyz, the new hit combines key elements of Afrobeats sound. It should be recalled that PhilKeyz is not a new name on the Afrobeats scene, having worked with artists such as Kizz Daniels on songs such as Lie, Nesesari, and the 2023 viral single Cough.
“If anyone is out there asking, ‘Why now?!’ Let me make this very clear, I’ve got nothing to prove. Not politically. Not culturally. Not financially. And certainly not musically. I’m doing this purely because I love it,” said Bebe Cool.
“I have challenged myself to push boundaries with a new sound and professionalism that sets the bar where it should be,” he added.
Speaking about the backlash faced by the Ugandan music industry from the media over lack of creativity, Bebe Cool noted that with his new music, he will set new standards. “This is an exciting time for the Ugandan music industry because I’m here to set a new standard—the standard—of what it means to be an African music legend.”
The single is a glimpse of what Bebe Cool has been working on and the direction he is taking with the album and his music career. Bebe Cool is not new to pushing the envelope and, at times, experimenting new styles with music.
On his groundbreaking album Go Mama, the artist experimented with soft rock, ska, and soca.
Bebe Cool noted that Circumference hit will be available on streaming platforms such as Spotify, Apple Music, Amazon Music, Tidal, Boomplay, and Audiomack, among others, effective Friday, December 13.
To pre-save or pre-add the song to playlists, a scannable QR code will be available on Bebe Cool’s official social media pages.
