Fresh from the release of back-to-back singles “Baby (Is It a Crime)” and “Bout U,” Nigerian global music sensation Rema is setting the summer ablaze with a fiery new track titled “KELEBU.”

Produced by London and Ambezza, the record is already sparking excitement and proving to be an early contender for this year’s ultimate African summer anthem.
On KELEBU, Rema boldly expands his sonic palette, diving deep into pan-African rhythms that pay homage to the continent’s diverse musical heritage.
Fusing the infectious energy of Coupe Decale, hints of Bongo Flava, and a touch of Soukous, the track goes beyond genre, it’s a celebration of African unity through sound.
Rema revealed that the inspiration behind the single is rooted in his childhood memories moments filled with dancing to eclectic beats that ranged from Caribbean rhythms to Francophone melodies.
That youthful spirit and nostalgia flow through every beat of KELEBU, giving the track an energetic, cross-generational appeal.
Described as horn-laced and explosively vibrant, the production is a sonic thrill ride. With London at the helm and final touches from mix engineer Leandro “Dro” Hidalgo, the result is a polished yet spirited anthem that pushes Afrobeats into exciting new territory without losing its core.
More than just a catchy tune, KELEBU marks a pivotal point in Rema’s artistic journey. Already known for breaking global charts and redefining the sound of Nigerian music, this single shows a fearless artist embracing evolution.
Written by Divine Ikubor (Rema) himself, it’s an offering that feels both personal and universally resonant.
In a time when music trends come and go, KELEBU is a refreshing reminder of how rhythm, culture, and passion can converge to spark joy. Rema doesn’t just make music — he moves continents with it.
