Afrobeat artist and producer Egbontalented joins forces with rising artist Kwavvy on “TILLA,” an infectious new midtempo Afrobeat-pop single that pairs heavy basslines and driving percussion with compelling lyricism and a hypnotic groove. Released June 16, the track is now available on all major streaming platforms.
Built around a commanding rhythmic foundation, TILLA balances rich, weighty bass with hard-hitting percussion to create a sound that is equally suited to radio rotation, playlists, and the dancefloor. Egbontalented’s direct and assured delivery provides the track’s lyrical backbone, while Kwavvy brings a distinctive energy that adds further dimension to the collaboration.
More than a standalone release, TILLA introduces a broader creative partnership between the two artists. The single serves as the lead preview of a potential collaborative EP currently in development, with the forthcoming project expected to explore the chemistry and shared musical instincts established on the record.
“We wanted to create something that feels grounded and nostalgic, but still hits hard,” says Egbontalented. “The combination of the heavy bass and the direct energy of the lyrics gives ‘TILLA’ a unique presence. Working with Kwavvy brought the exact element the track needed, and this is just the beginning of what we have in store.“
With its polished production, infectious groove, and crossover-ready sound, TILLA positions Egbontalented and Kwavvy as a compelling collaborative pairing within the evolving global Afrobeats landscape. The release also marks an important step toward a larger body of work that could further establish their shared sonic identity.
The team behind TILLA is currently welcoming opportunities for media coverage, playlist consideration, radio support, management partnerships, and label or distribution collaborations as the artists build toward the next phase of the project.
“TILLA” is available now on all major digital streaming platforms.
