Ugandan music fans have a reason to celebrate early this festive season as renowned African music star Bebe Cool prepares to release his latest single, Circumference, the first track from his much-anticipated upcoming album.
The announcement was made during a press briefing held at the Next Media Park in Naguru. Bebe Cool revealed that the song, which was produced by acclaimed Nigerian artist and producer PhilKeyz, will be released this Friday, December 13, on various music streaming platforms.
PhilKeyz, who has collaborated with artists like Kizz Daniel on hits such as Lie, Nesesari, and the viral 2023 track Cough, brings his Afrobeats expertise to Circumference. The song is a blend of Afrobeats elements and a fresh sound that Bebe Cool hopes will resonate with fans and elevate Ugandan music on the global stage.
During the press conference, Bebe Cool emphasized his motivation for creating the new album, describing it as a passion project aimed at breaking barriers and redefining his music.
“For anyone wondering ‘Why now?’ let me clarify: this isn’t about proving anything—politically, culturally, financially, or even musically. This is purely about my love for music and my desire to push the boundaries with a new sound and professionalism that raises the bar for African music,” he stated.
Bebe Cool also addressed recent criticisms of Ugandan music, which has been called out for a perceived lack of creativity. He promised that his new project would set a benchmark for artistic depth and innovation.
“This is an exciting moment for Ugandan music. I’m here to redefine what it means to be an African music legend,” he declared.
Known for his willingness to experiment, Bebe Cool has consistently pushed the limits of his artistry. On his iconic Go Mama album, he explored genres such as soft rock, ska, and soca. Circumference offers fans a glimpse into the direction of his new album and his evolving musical journey.
The single will be available on streaming platforms including Spotify, Apple Music, Amazon Music, Tidal, Boomplay, and Audiomack. Fans can also pre-save the track or add it to their playlists via a QR code shared on Bebe Cool’s social media pages.
Ugandan music lovers can look forward to an exciting December 13, as Bebe Cool continues his mission to raise the profile of African music worldwide.
