Ang\u00e9lique Kidjo feat. Ayra Starr \u2014 Aye Kan (Are You Coming Back?)<\/strong><\/p>\n

Some musical meetings give you chills just thinking about them \u2014 this is one of them. Picture it: Beninese legend Ang\u00e9lique 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!!<\/em>, 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.<\/p>\n

Lyrics :<\/strong><\/p>\n

My body now (My body), Egovina (Egovi)
\nFire killer, pretty like Sabina
\nAre you coming back or what? (Are you coming?)
\nAre you coming back or what? (Loudaaa)<\/p>\n

\nAy\u00e9 kan l’owa o (Ay\u00e9 kan l’owa o)<\/p>\n

Na money dey the rubberband
\nNa you go dey the other hand
\nI go tell you matter, I hope you understand
\n‘Cause I give it to you like you never had
\nWhen we link up, it’s a mad vibe
\nI’m a lover, at the same time
\nI’m a fighter (Mm)<\/p>\n
