Afrobeats stars Ayra Starr and Elestee have joined forces for a breezy new track titled On a Low, released Friday, December 5, 2025.
The song feels tailor-made for those moments when you’re feeling confident, stylish, and just a touch bougie. It’s a smooth fusion of the two artists’ distinctive energies, creating a track that’s effortlessly cool and effortlessly catchy.
Elestee, formerly known as Lifesize Teddy, has been cultivating her craft since childhood in Port Harcourt. Born Treasure Apiafi Banigo, she began writing music at nine, and by 2018, she was opening for Mavin Records star Ladipoe, a hint of the star power she would later unleash.
After spending three years honing her skills at the Mavin Academy, she officially signed with the label in 2023, releasing her self-titled debut EP.
She followed that up swiftly with POISN, a project that showcased her genre-blending versatility and knack for sharp, playful lyricism.
The collaboration was teased through a playful behind-the-scenes video, showing Ayra Starr and Elestee in sleek, coordinated outfits, laughing and joking after wrapping the music video.
