There’s something steady about Lighter — no rush, no noise, just a song that knows what it wants to be. A7S, David Guetta, and WizKid come together on this track without stepping over each other. It’s not about showing off. It’s about making space for mood, rhythm, and feeling.

A7S opens with a soft, almost weary vocal. “So take the pain away, make it lighter,” he sings — not with drama, but with quiet honesty. His voice sits just above the beat, not straining for emotion but letting it come through naturally. The production under him is sparse but warm, giving the lyrics room to breathe.

David Guetta, who often leans toward bold, energetic sounds, holds back here. His touch is more subtle than usual. The beat moves with a calm pulse — there’s structure, but it doesn’t overpower. It’s a shift from his typical style, but it fits the tone of the track. You can tell the goal wasn’t to make something loud. It was to make something that sits with you.

Then WizKid enters. His delivery is smooth, relaxed, and completely in his element. He weaves between English and Yoruba without missing a beat. One moment he sings, “Baby make I hold you tighter,” and then shifts to, “Emi naa lo mo pe mo wa alright.” It doesn’t feel like a performance; it feels like how he talks. That ease adds something you don’t hear in every pop collaboration — a bit of home, a bit of truth.

WizKid’s verses always carry a certain calm, and here, that calm sharpens the song rather than slowing it down. The Yoruba lines aren’t just decorative — they belong there. They ground the song in real-life rhythm, making it less polished in the best possible way.

There’s a clear rhythm to Lighter, but it doesn’t rely on a hook to carry it. The lyrics are simple, but that simplicity is what makes them feel close. Nobody’s trying to outshine anyone. The parts are balanced. A7S brings a light touch, Guetta stays in the background, and WizKid fills the spaces with warmth.

At under three minutes, the song ends as gently as it began. No big finish, no buildup to a drop — just a fade that feels earned. You might not notice every detail the first time around, but it stays with you, and the next time it plays, it feels familiar.

Lighter doesn’t push to be a hit. It’s more personal than that — more like a moment caught in the middle of a busy day, or a voice note sent late at night. And that’s exactly why it works.

Tekno’s new video for “Power Bank” isn’t trying to be anything more than what it is—a light, charming, and well-paced visual companion to a catchy Afrobeats track. Set in Abuja and featuring Nollywood actress Regina Daniels, the video moves with ease, mixing simple storytelling with bright visuals that echo the song’s upbeat mood. It stays subtle, allowing the chemistry and mood to carry the story.

The video follows a playful love story between Tekno and Daniels, leaning into moments that feel more casual than scripted. A quick chase scene, some light flirtation, and plenty of shared looks make up the bulk of the narrative. It’s not trying to deliver a heavy message or a deep plot—it simply plays with the idea that love, like a power bank, gives you the energy to move through life.

Visually, it’s clean and vibrant. The director, Kemz, uses color and pacing well without overloading the screen. The shots are tight where they need to be and open up when the music calls for it. There’s a clear sense of rhythm between what you see and what you hear, but it’s handled with restraint. The editing keeps things moving but never feels rushed. The wardrobe and locations are thoughtful without being distracting.

One of the video’s strongest points is the chemistry between its leads. Tekno and Regina Daniels don’t overplay their roles—they keep things relaxed, which helps the idea behind the song land more naturally. Their interaction feels easy, and that’s what gives the video its charm. It doesn’t push too hard to make you believe in the story; it just lets the story unfold.

The concept of “power bank” as a metaphor for emotional energy isn’t overexplained—it’s just there, running quietly beneath the visuals. Whether it’s the spark between the characters or the bursts of color and movement, there’s a current that keeps the video alive. It’s a straightforward execution, but one that works because it doesn’t try to be more than the song needs.

“Power Bank” won’t reinvent the music video format, but that’s not its goal. It’s comfortable in its own lane—a simple, well-made visual that complements the music and leaves a pleasant impression. Tekno knows how to stay in step with his sound, and this video is another example of that. It’s short, sharp, and clear about what it wants to deliver. And it does.

Davido took the roof off with his electrifying performance of With You at the long-anticipated tour of Chris Brown, BREEZY BOWL 2025 at Tottenham hotspur stadium, UK. Energy was so palpable as the crowd sang along to every word mesmerised by the infectious stage presence of Davido.
