Nigerian Afropop superstar JOEBOY has shared audio for his latest single, “Cubana.” The TYPE A-produced track, which had its world premiere today with Apple Music 1’s The Dotty Show, is out now on all DSPs from emPawa Africa.
“Cubana” arrives as JOEBOY gets set to head out on his first U.S. tour dates this Spring. The singer joins Koffee as the opening act on The Gifted Tour from April 27 (Miami Beach) through May 2 (Charlotte, NC), before stepping out on his own for his headlining Young Legend Tour, from May 4 (Philadelphia) through May 30 (Seattle).
Apple Music in 28 countries, amassing over 420 million streams globally.
“Sip (Alcohol),” released in September, has gone on to become JOEBOY’s most successful single internationally, scoring over 360 million streams, while topping Apple Music’s streaming chart in 17 countries, and hitting #1 on Billboard’s LyricFind Global chart, which tracks song lyric searches online.
“Sip” and “Cubana” are just the latest in a string of international afrobeats smashes from the young singer, including his 2019 breakout single “Baby” and the 2020 Mr Eazi and Deejay Neptune collaboration “Nobody” — Nigeria’s #1 single of 2020.
