African music powerhouse DJ Tunez, Libianca, and Wande Coal have joined forces to release their brand new single ‘Promiscuous’, an afrobeats and amapiano inspired summer anthem that is already making waves globally. Within its first week of release, the track has earned spots on eight major Afrobeats playlists across Apple Music (South Africa and Nigeria) and several others on Spotify, underscoring its undeniable impact and the growing influence of African music on the world stage.
Drawing inspiration from the iconic original by Nelly Furtado and Timbaland, ‘Promiscuous’ pays tribute to timeless music while infusing it with modern Afrobeat and Amapiano influences. DJ Tunez, reflecting on his teenage years, was moved to reimagine the classic track, keeping its essence intact while enhancing it with contemporary flair.
“The inspiration for this song comes from the timeless appeal of the original. Collaborating with Wande, a long-time partner and legend, felt natural, while Libianca’s unique, globally resonant voice added the perfect complement. Together, we’ve created something truly special,” DJ Tunez shared.
Libianca, known for her soulful hit ‘People’, celebrated the fusion of Afrobeats and Amapiano on the track, saying, “I love seeing how well this song is recognized in Nigeria and South Africa. We can’t deny the global impact of Amapiano, and merging it with Afrobeats felt like magic.”
DJ Tunez, a Nigerian-American DJ and producer based in Brooklyn, New York, has emerged as a pivotal figure in the global rise of Afrobeats. Renowned for his ability to seamlessly blend African rhythms with international sounds, he has captivated audiences worldwide through sold-out Diaspora-themed events and chart-topping collaborations. As the official DJ for Starboy Entertainment and WizKid’s touring partner, DJ Tunez continues to push boundaries, introducing the vibrant energy of Afrobeats to diverse cultures and cementing his place as a driving force in modern music.
