Timaya has spent two decades shaping Nigerian music with a sound that blends Afrobeats, Dancehall, and the rhythms of the Niger Delta. From his early breakout records to becoming one of the country’s most enduring hitmakers, he has remained a consistent voice while continuing to evolve. On “Kontrol,” he reunites with fellow South-South star Duncan Mighty, bringing together two artists whose chemistry has long been appreciated by fans.
On “Kontrol,” Timaya surrenders to love, admitting that his partner has taken control of both his heart and mind. His promises are simple and genuine, built around loyalty, care, and the desire to return the same affection he receives. He focuses on the everyday commitment that keeps a relationship strong, giving the song a warm and relatable feel.
Duncan Mighty adds his unmistakable voice and melodic style, bringing warmth and cultural flavour to the collaboration. Together, both artists move effortlessly across Afropop and Highlife-inspired production, creating a record filled with bright guitar melodies, lively percussion, and sing-along hooks. The result is a song that feels equally at home at weddings, celebrations, and everyday moments between couples.
“This is a song about appreciating the person who stands by you,” Timaya says. “When you find real love, you hold on to it and give that same love back.”
“Kontrol” is now available on all streaming platforms via ONErpm. Listen here.
