Mayorkun officially kicks off his 2026 run with a vibrant new single called “Kaluba.” The energy is already infectious. The track arrives as his first solo release of the year, following a steady stream of records that have kept him firmly in the conversation.
The song lands as a standalone single, released toward the end of August. It carries that lively, party-ready Afrobeats bounce fans have come to expect from the singer, with hooks that land quickly and a groove that holds attention throughout. There is a spiritual undertone to the rollout too, with the artist himself declaring he was feeling spiritual when the record dropped.
Born Adewale Mayowa Emmanuel, the Osun State native first made waves under Davido’s DMW imprint, where he released his debut single “Eleko.” He later moved to Sony Music West Africa while continuing to build a catalogue that includes projects like The Mayor of Lagos and Still The Mayor. His collaborations span Davido, Fireboy DML, Peruzzi, and Joeboy, among others.
With “Kaluba,” Mayorkun reminds listeners why he remains one of the most consistent voices in the scene. The record feels like a natural next step rather than a detour.
