“Tell me one Afrobeats song that can uplift us,” he said. “Kenya is suffering; young men in Kenya are revolting. South Africa, Sudan, South Sudan—everywhere is struggling. But which of these Afrobeats songs can relate to me for a peace of mind, to tell me that we are in the struggle, and even though it’s hard, we will overcome? Tell me.”
Several people online, including podcaster Jai Frai, have suggested that Burna Boy’s “Common Person” is a song made to uplift. However, the biggest Afrobeats hits often blend pop and R&B sensibilities. Notably, “One Dance,” a dancehall-infused collaboration between Drake and Nigerian star Wizkid, stands out as the biggest song in both Afrobeats and Dancehall.
