    UK Afrobeats Artist Nelz Shares Introspective Single “Be Kind”

    Nigerian Afrobeats singer-songwriter Nelz is back with an introspective new single “Be Kind”

    Marking his most reflective work in the past year, “Be Kind” delves deep into the emotional terrain of time’s passage and the universal fear and acceptance of outgrowing one’s prime, whilst also saying that he will not be running after time.

    Unlike its energetic 120 BPM rhythm might suggest, the song is not a celebration but a poignant meditation. 

    In “Be Kind,” Time itself is personified: Nelz addresses Time directly in heartfelt lyrics, asking it to show compassion to the new generation. 

    The track’s chill, introspective vibe, paired with its undeniable groove, captures a rare blend of vulnerability and rhythm.
