Darkoo, an experienced British rapper and songwriter of Nigerian descent, has made a strong musical return with her latest track, “Right Now.” This new song showcases her versatile style and features an impressive collaboration with Davido, the well-known Nigerian singer, songwriter, and leader of DMW (Davido Music Worldwide).
With Davido’s involvement, the song adds to a busy year for him filled with multiple collaborations, including contributions to BoyPee, Hyce, and Brown Joel’s remix of “Ogechi,” and the recent track “Joy,” which he worked on alongside Grammy-winning artist Angelique Kidjo. This partnership between Darkoo and Davido aims to create yet another compelling addition to the evolving Afrobeat landscape.
Adding an extra layer to the song’s appeal, Jamaican artist Rvssian brings his own unique flair to “Right Now.” Rvssian is familiar with the Afrobeat genre, having worked previously with Nigerian sensation Ayra Starr on his hit track “Santa.” His presence in this new release adds a global touch to the song, making it more appealing to a diverse audience.
The fusion of Darkoo’s UK Afrobeats background, Davido’s Nigerian musical influence, and Rvssian’s Jamaican style creates a captivating blend that showcases the ever-growing and boundary-crossing nature of Afrobeat music.
Darkoo has steadily risen within the UK Afrobeats scene since breaking into the mainstream, gaining recognition for her talent and notable collaborations. Her appearance on the 2022 remix of Camidoh’s “Sugarcane” marked a significant moment in her career, adding to her growing reputation.
Additionally, she was part of the remix for Tion Wayne’s hit track “Body,” which further cemented her position as an emerging force in the genre. These collaborations have not only highlighted her skills but have also helped in expanding her fan base and solidifying her presence in the evolving Afrobeat scene in the UK.
The release of “Right Now” adds to the excitement surrounding Darkoo’s upcoming projects, particularly her anticipated debut album, which fans are eagerly awaiting. The single’s powerful lineup and infectious rhythm are likely to boost expectations and build momentum as Darkoo prepares for the next significant step in her career. By teaming up with prominent artists like Davido and Rvssian, Darkoo continues to establish herself as a key figure within the Afrobeat genre, promising more innovative music to come.
