Barry Jhay and ZiiBeats link up on a fresh new record called “Pami” for Afrobeats listeners around the world. The Nigerian singer and songwriter keeps his vocal delivery front and centre here, which is where he usually operates best.
The single landed on September 25, 2026, arriving as a standalone drop rather than another full body of work. It follows his seventeen-track album, “Barrystar, Vol. 2,” which he put out earlier in what has been a busy 2026 for him. So this one feels like a quick change of pace instead of a full project.
ZiiBeats handles the boards, and the credit sheet also lists Oluwakayode Qudus Balogun and Ogbemudia Ehis Favour as composers and lyricists. The beat carries a smooth, rhythm-led feel that fits the Afrobeats sound a lot of listeners are on right now. But the arrangement never crowds the vocal, so Barry Jhay glides over it.
For anyone new to him, Barry Jhay was born Oluwakayode Junior Balogun and raised in Ibadan, Oyo State. He is signed to BANG HITS MUSIC and has built his catalogue since 2018 with records like “Aiye” and “Normal Level.” His run also includes “Barry Back,” the “Son of God” EP, and the “Barrystar” series.
Singles like this one often tell you more about an artist’s instincts than a whole album does.
