VOS has released “JABULA,” an Afro House track built around a four-on-the-floor rhythm, log drums, shakers, hand percussion and a rolling bassline.
The song uses Zulu-inspired call-and-response vocals, with the word “jabula” meaning “to be happy” or “to rejoice” in Zulu. The vocal arrangement moves from a lead chant into a repeated refrain that is answered by a crowd.
The accompanying music video follows a group of dancers across a single night, beginning with one person dancing alone before gradually bringing more people into the scene. The video was created, produced and visually directed by VOS.
Nigerian artist Tdooooo explores loss, hardship and emotional struggle on his latest Afrobeats release, “Booze.”
Dedicated to his late uncle, the song draws from experiences of grief and the difficulties surrounding mental, emotional, financial and spiritual struggles. Alcohol features prominently in the story, but the track approaches it as a coping mechanism rather than something to celebrate.
Musically, “Booze” combines contemporary Afrobeats and Afro-fusion with melodic vocals and emotionally driven songwriting. Tdooooo uses the song to examine the ways people can respond to difficult circumstances when they feel they have run out of options.
Despite its subject matter, the song ultimately leaves room for the possibility of finding a way forward through difficult periods.

The song explores themes of sensuality and attraction, continuing the artist’s focus on urban and Latin-influenced sounds.
