Tanzanian singer Abigail Chams has released a new single titled ‘Yoyo’, along with an official visualiser.

The Afropop track explores romantic connection through rhythmic production, melodic hooks and global pop influences. Its lyrics move between English, Swahili and French, a multilingual approach that reflects the cross-border character of contemporary African pop.

At the centre of ‘Yoyo’ is the excitement and affection of a committed relationship, with the repeated title phrase serving as the song’s main hook.

The release follows a run of high-profile appearances for Chams at major African cultural and sporting events. Those performances have widened her audience beyond Tanzania and into East Africa and international markets.

‘Yoyo’ continues that momentum with an accessible Afropop sound and a romantic theme. Its production and recurring refrain are suited to playlists, live performances and social media-driven music discovery.

The single is now available on major streaming platforms alongside the visualiser.
