Afrobeats artist Leke returns with a soulful new single titled “Locket,” a hypnotic blend of rhythm, vulnerability, and storytelling that cements his place as one of the genre’s most promising voices.
“Locket” is more than a song—it’s a confession. Built on breezy melodies and smooth percussion, the track explores the feeling of holding love close but being unsure if it’s safe to give your heart away.
Leke’s airy vocals float effortlessly over the production, balancing emotional depth with catchy, repeat-worthy grooves.
Speaking about the inspiration behind the song, Leke says:
“‘Locket’ is about the tension between desire and protection—when you care deeply but aren’t sure if the other person values your heart the same way. It’s that push and pull between holding back and giving in.”
Locket marks another step in his evolution—melding Afrobeats with R&B influences and poetic lyricism to create a sound that feels both global and deeply personal.
