New York-based Nigerian artist Kahli Abduis 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.
