Angélique Kidjo feat. Ayra Starr — Aye Kan (Are You Coming Back?)
Some musical meetings give you chills just thinking about them — this is one of them. Picture it: Beninese legend Angélique Kidjo, five-time Grammy winner, joining forces with Nigerian breakout star Ayra Starr, Afropop’s own “Sabi Girl.” Together they deliver “Aye Kan (Are You Coming Back?),” the lead single from Kidjo’s album Hope!!, dedicated to her late mother. The track weaves through English, Nigerian Pidgin, and Yoruba, exploring love, longing, and what truly makes us rich. The video, directed by Emmanuel Agbeble at New York’s legendary Power Station studio, captures both artists in an intimate setting lit by candlelight and framed by a grand piano, where every glance tells a story of genuine connection. Between heritage and modern flair, this cross-generational collaboration celebrates African creative power, from Benin to Nigeria. A musical moment worth savoring on repeat.
Lyrics :
My body now (My body), Egovina (Egovi)
Fire killer, pretty like Sabina
Are you coming back or what? (Are you coming?)
Are you coming back or what? (Loudaaa)
Áwọn kan j’ayé, áwọn kan ti má já wire
Áwọn kan gb’owo, áwọn kan ti má jáfáfá
Elo l’ayé?
Ayé kan l’owa o (Ayé kan l’owa o)
Na money dey the rubberband
Na you go dey the other hand
I go tell you matter, I hope you understand
‘Cause I give it to you like you never had
When we link up, it’s a mad vibe
I’m a lover, at the same time
I’m a fighter (Mm)
Un ná we wǎnyíyí ce ló ó
Bɔ a fɔn égbe b’ jó mi dó ló ó
Nú má ɖɔ we, ɖǒtó xó ce bo se lá
Ɖó wányí ce nú we ɔ má ɖé lá
When we link up, it’s a mad vibe
I’m a lover, at the same time
I’m a fighter, hm
