Legendary Nigerian singer D’Banj has returned to the spotlight with an engaging new single titled ‘Tobari’, featuring Nigerian nightlife legend DJ Obi and South African amapiano great DJ Maphorisa.
Renowned for shaping the sound of a generation, D’Banj taps into his professed charm and leaves you wanting more.
Produced for the dancefloor, ‘Tobari’ glides on the wave of Afro-house, amapiano and playful street-pop.
The record begins with an exclusive-lifestyle flex, “Chilling now in Obi’s house, wearing Timbaland from head to toe”, creating g a smooth tone of luxury and late-night groove. The flirtatious hook, “That my koko drives her wild,”wows back to D’Banj’s style, blending confidence with
humour
According to D’Banj, “‘Tobari’ is a celebration of sound and friendship. It’s what happens when icons from different scenes connect; we bring the heat and invite the world to dance with us.”
The new single sees D’banj draw inspiration from his classic ‘Why Me’, which is one of Afrobeats’ greatest hits and which announced him as the Koko Master set to redefine Nigerian music.
In 2024, the Koko master, as D’banj is called,released the album ‘The Entertainer: D’ Sequel’, where he reimagined his classic single ‘Tongolo’ while partnering with stars Phyno, Akon, Peruzzi, and Awilo Longomba.
