UK AFROBEATS TRAILBLAZER SONA RETURNS WITH INFECTIOUS NEW AFROFUSION SINGLE ‘DEY 4 YOU’

Coming on the back of his headline performance at the sold-out Diaspora Sounds concert last month, which was met with rave reviews from tastemakers such as Made You Think, Chop Daily, and Link Up TV, British Nigerian artist and songwriter SONA makes a compelling return with his highly anticipated new single ‘DEY 4 YOU’, produced by Origi and Tboiii. Fuelled by fans and critics alike clamouring for a UK afrobeats revival with Sona at the forefront, the UK afrobeats trailblazer has duly obliged with this captivating and heartfelt afrofusion offering that balances feeling with movement, while teasing of more to come. Built on warm synth keyboards, lush percussion, fluid basslines, and infectious melodic toplines, ‘Dey 4 You’ is designed to connect first and still make you move, with Sona folding afrobeats, afroswing, and R&B into an instantly unforgettable and irresistibly danceable groove.

Rooted in South London with international mass appeal, Sona has long fused his lush vocal dexterity, signature smoothness, resonant penmanship and vivid emotion across a run of cult-classic tracks and essential UK afrobeats hits, from the kinetic party starter ‘Ijo Sona’ and the feel-good ‘No Wahala’, to the love anthem ‘Feeling You’ and the vibrant high-energy jam ‘Ginger’ – breakout tracks that have amassed millions of global streams, and seen him garner acclaim and rave reviews from tastemakers including Complex, BBC 1Xtra, MTV Base, Earmilk Capital Xtra, and the MOBO Awards, cementing his place as an icon and trailblazer of UK afrobeats and afroswing within British Black music. His new single ‘Dey 4 You’ is a tribute to loyalty and the quiet everyday act of showing up for the people you love through the highs, lows, and everything in between – something that rings true for Sona everyday.

Speaking about the inspiration behind ‘Dey 4 You’, Sona shares how “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 clamouring even more now for new music from Sona following his show-stopping performance at the Diaspora Sounds concert, an exciting new project from the South London native is on the horizon in 2026. ‘Dey 4 You’ is the first glimpse of what’s to come, and it perfectly opens this next chapter in Sona’s already eventful story – an authentic finely crafted reminder of why he remains one of the UK’s most resonant voices for afrobeats.
