Trailblazing British-Nigerian artist Sona, heralded for shaping the UK Afrobeats landscape, kicks off an exciting new chapter with his highly anticipated single, ‘Dey 4 You’.
Following his acclaimed headline performance at the sold-out Diaspora Sounds concert last month, a show that garnered rave reviews from tastemakers including Made You Think, Chop Daily, and Link Up TV, the South London native makes a powerful return with his latest offering.
The infectious new single, “Dey 4 You,” is an irresistible Afrofusion blend produced by Origi and Tboiii. Answering the call from fans and critics for a UK Afrobeats revival, Sona delivers a captivating and heartfelt track that expertly balances emotional depth with dance-ready rhythm. Built on warm synth keyboards, lush percussion, and instantly memorable melodic toplines, “Dey 4 You” effortlessly weaves elements of Afrobeats, Afroswing and R&B into a finely crafted, instantly unforgettable groove.
Known for his lush vocal dexterity, signature smoothness, and resonant penmanship across a decade of UK Afrobeats hits – from the kinetic ‘Ijo Sona’ and feel-good ‘No Wahala’ to the love anthem ‘Feeling You’ – Sona has amassed millions of global streams. His work has earned him acclaim from major platforms, including Complex, BBC 1Xtra, MTV Base and the MOBO Awards, cementing his status as a trailblazer in British Black music.
“Dey 4 You” serves as a moving tribute to loyalty and the quiet, everyday commitment of supporting loved ones through life’s inevitable highs, lows and everything in between.
Speaking about the inspiration behind the track, Sona shares: “This one comes from a real place. It’s about standing by the people you love through everything. I wanted to make something that connects emotionally but still makes you move. The song came about from going through everyday life struggles and understanding how important it is to be there for your loved ones, whether it be friendships or a relationship.”
With listeners eagerly anticipating new material, “Dey 4 You” is the first official glimpse into an exciting new project scheduled for 2026. The single perfectly opens the next chapter in Sona’s storied career, serving as an authentic and finely crafted reminder of why he remains one of the UK’s most resonant voices for Afrobeats.
Rooted in London but wired to the world, Sona continues to distil exactly what his global audience craves: rhythm with purpose, hooks with heart and an unrelenting devotion to sharing real-life stories.
