Singer Modola is starting the year 2026 off right with a brand-new single, “Kupe,” featuring Bhadboi OML and produced by Oodun.

While the song has already begun to be teased on social media by the artist, it appears to be another installment of her signature Afropop sound, delivered with smooth, emotionally grounded vocals. The early previews of the song suggest that it is polished and self-assured, with Bhadboi OML adding another layer of edge to the overall feel of the song.

Following a strong run of releases in 2025, that saw her deepen her presence and her artistry, Modola appears to be looking to continue that momentum rather than to make any drastic changes to her overall style. Instead, this feels like another step forward, another tightening of the overall sound, and another push forward, even if it is subtle.

With “Kupe,” the artist is looking to the year ahead, keeping things measured while at the same time building on the foundation that has already been established.
