Spyro has released “Kpan Kpan,” a new single produced by Colonel Tyemmy.
Where much of today’s Afrobeats chases a cooler, late-night mood, “Kpan Kpan” goes the other way. It is a record rooted in Nigerian party culture, the owambe, the dance circle, the moment the band leader calls the celebrant forward.
The title, a Pidgin phrase for doing something solidly and with full commitment, sets the tone.The rollout started with a short snippet in late October, labelled “Kpan Kpan Riddim,” which drew strong early reaction online. The finished single keeps that bounce and builds on it.
Spyro broke through in 2022 with “Billing” and reached a wider audience with “Who Is Your Guy?”, whose Tiwa Savage remix earned him Best Collaboration at The Headies 2023. “Kpan Kpan” marks a confident new chapter.
