    Caleb Myles, also known as CAYZEE, has released a new single, “One More Time,” an Afrofusion track that explores the possibility of giving a relationship another chance.

    The song centers on lingering feelings after a relationship has changed or ended, with its lyrics addressing desire, connection, nostalgia and the hope of revisiting a meaningful moment.

    Musically, “One More Time” combines Afrobeats-inspired rhythms with smoother pop elements. Soft vocals and melodic production give the track an intimate feel, matching its focus on romantic longing and second chances.

    Rather than presenting love as something straightforward, the song sits in the uncertainty of wanting to reconnect with someone who remains on your mind.

    “One More Time” is out now.

    Cyprus Mafia Project brings Mediterranean atmosphere to “Ayia Napa”

    Cyprus Mafia Project has released a new single, “Ayia Napa,” an Afro House track named after the Mediterranean resort town.

    The production combines deep percussion with warm synth textures and a vocal hook, giving the track a club-oriented sound with a summery feel.

    The track draws on the nightlife association of its namesake, with its arrangement centered on rhythm, melodic textures and a steady electronic groove. Rather than relying on a narrative, “Ayia Napa” is primarily concerned with creating an atmosphere through its production.

    The song places Afro House within a distinctly Mediterranean setting, connecting the genre’s rhythmic foundation with the sound and imagery associated with Cyprus’ club culture.

    The title also connects the track to Ayia Napa’s association with nightlife and electronic music, giving the production a clear sense of place.

    “Ayia Napa” is out now.

    Samant D’legend is out with “Collect,” an Afrobeats/Afrofusion track about setting boundaries and dealing with the expectation to constantly give to others.

    The song draws from everyday experiences of being asked for time, money, energy and emotional support, while questioning the idea that these things should always be freely given.

    Its lyrics take a direct approach to the subject, including lines such as “I no dey carry your burden,” as the song pushes back against entitlement and one-sided expectations.

    “Collect” pairs the subject with an upbeat production, creating a contrast between its danceable feel and its more serious message about protecting your time and peace.

    “Collect” is out now on streaming platforms.

  • Ricky Sky rebuilt “Sikasso” from scratch after the first version fell short

    Ricky Sky rebuilt “Sikasso” from scratch after the first version fell short

    Ricky Sky’s new track “Sikasso” began with an early version that ultimately did not match the direction he wanted.

    The project started in 2025, as Sky experimented with rhythmic patterns, atmospheric elements and different sounds in his studio. After completing an initial version, he decided that the structure and energy were not quite where he wanted them to be.

    Rather than continuing to make minor adjustments, Sky returned to a blank project. He kept only the elements from the original session that he felt were worth developing and rebuilt the track around them.

    That process allowed him to rethink the arrangement, dynamics and overall direction without being tied to the decisions made in the first version. The production was then constructed, mixed and mastered independently in his own studio.

    For Sky, the process reflects his view of music creation as a continual process of transformation. Instead of forcing a version that did not feel right, he chose to start again and build “Sikasso” around the ideas that still felt true to his original vision.

    The single is now available on streaming platforms.
