Nigerian Hitmaker CKay release’s “Body” ft. Mavo
CKay has crafted “Body”, his latest single accompanied by newcomer Mavo, on a foundation of Afro-House, alongside the “four-on-the-floor” drum beat. The two have created a darker, but warmer feeling and sounding track, featuring rock tones that spark against Lagos rhythm. This track is absolutely made for the dancefloor, a great closer for CKay’s discography for the year. It has an implemented vibe of “ the night”, and the energy of celebration, and it will most definitely inform the Summer of 2026, in terms of sound.
This is definitely a whole new creative chapter for CKay, especially with the blend of Afro-House and gritier, emo-rock standards; really stretching the styles of modern African pop. A true innovator and artist.
The track is built on the four-on-four drumbeat, and features bass lines, and live guitar to present a warm vibe, and to produce both groove and attitude. “Body” was produced by BMH (Bolatito Obisanya), Fez, Vishen, and Astro. “Body”, including the feeling of live elements, still feels polished – a classic identity that CKay has been building over the last decade.
Mavo, a newcomer, just 21 years old, is an artist who merges street rhythm with emotional honesty. He adds a whole dimension of his own to the track – he truly is the representation of Nigeria’s next generation.
