Nigerian singer-songwriter Tekno has kicked off 2025 with a bang, dropping his new single “Ikebe” an upbeat dancefloor-ready tune. Known for his versatile blend of Afrobeats, dancehall, and more, Tekno takes a playful detour with this track, diving into a cheeky celebration of physical allure. Ikebe, a Nigerian term for “bum bum,” sets the tone for a bold irresistible track.
From the opening beat, Ikebe grabs you with its high-energy rhythm, designed to get your body moving from the very first note. Produced with a fresh, pulsating soundscape the track diverges from his typical mellow, love-soaked offerings like Pana or Skeletun. Instead, it leans into a bouncy, carefree vibe that’s equal parts mischievous and magnetic.
The lyrics are the star of the show, with Tekno crooning, “This Ikebe go put me for trouble,” a line that playfully signals his infatuation with his love interest’s endowed backside. He’s not just admiring he’s ready to embrace the chaos it might bring.
The song’s theme is unapologetically fun, revelling in the physical attraction with lines that balance humour and swagger. Tekno’s smooth vocals glide over the beat, infusing it with his signature melodic flair while keeping the energy high.
