Orezi has joined forces with Rema Namakula for an electrifying remix of his track, “Start to Dance.” The new single, released from his recent Chocolate Daddy EP, signals a vibrant fusion of West and East African musical energies, poised to dominate club scenes and airwaves.
The Nigerian Afrobeats veteran has teamed up with Uganda’s beloved songstress for what might just be the most infectious collaboration of the year. And honestly? It was about time someone brought together the best of West and East African sounds like this. And, you know that feeling when a song comes on and your body just can’t help but move? That’s exactly what happens when you press play on Orezi and Rema Namakula’s new remix.
Orezi isn’t new to this game and has been making people dance delivering a steady stream of hits since his 2009 debut, “I No Fit Lie.” His latest EP, Chocolate Daddy, has been serving up treats, but this remix with Namakula takes things to another level entirely.
Picture this: you’re at your favourite spot, the DJ drops those opening beats, and suddenly the whole room is moving in sync. That’s the magic these two have bottled up in “Start to Dance.” Namakula brings that unmistakable East African energy that perfectly complements Orezi’s signature groove, creating something that feels both familiar and completely fresh.
“East meets West. And everybody wins,” Orezi said about the collaboration, and you can hear that winning formula in every beat. The track doesn’t just ask you to dance – it practically demands it, with a bassline that gets under your skin and stays there.
This isn’t just another remix; it’s proof that when African artists connect across borders, something beautiful happens. The song’s already making waves, and if you haven’t added it to your playlist yet, you’re missing out on your new favourite dance anthem.
The track promises to keep fans moving and further solidifies Orezi’s status as an innovator in the evolving world of Afrobeats. “Start to Dance” is now available on all major streaming platforms and Orezi is on Instagram & X.
