Kahli Abdu & Ycee's 'Watching You' Will Soundtrack Your Weekend

Listen to the breezy new single from Kahli Abdu's upcoming EP.

New York-based Nigerian artist Kahli Abdu is prepping the release of his forthcoming EP, Book of Solomon .

Kahli's already shared two solid tracks off the release— "Lonely Girls Club" and "Romantic Girl" —and is now premiering his highly-addictive new single "Watching You."


The breezy new song, which is ripe for your summer playlists, sees Kahli Abdu connect with Ycee , the man behind last year's hits "Juice" and "Link Up." The pair go in over a beat that connects afrobeats, dancehall and NYC rhythms into an total jam.

"When I was recording this album in Rockaway Beach, Ycee came by and heard this beat and immediately got into it," Kahli tells OkayAfrica . "The whole vibe in the room felt very organic and we ended up with this tune. I attribute my arrangement of this song to my appreciation for Phil Collins ."

Get into "Watching You" below and keep an eye out for more from Kahli Abdu.
