Nigerian singer-songwriter, Teni has released a brand new single – “Maitama” featuring Mayorkun, Costa Titch and Chicco .
“Maitama” is a follow-up to her previous singles ‘Little’ & ‘Legendary‘ and arrives hot on the heels of her COLORS Show performance, ‘Trouble’.
“Maitama” leans into the South African house sound where Teni’s distinctive and honeyed vocals entwine with the sounds of the long drum; a familiar hallmark within Amapiano. Teni embraces her native vernacular on this track, which she layers over the infectious beat, surrounded by high-pitched piano melodies and rippled baselines. The single features guest vocals from Nigeria’s very own mayor of Lagos, singer Mayorkun, and South African artists, rapper Costa Titch and multi-award-winning singer Chicco.
Named after a leafy town in Abuja, Nigeria, “Maitama” takes us on a journey where Teni leaves her hometown to embark on new adventures, her final destination unknown but always acknowledging her evolvement along the way.
