Bebe Cool’s highly anticipated album, Break the Chains will drop on streaming platforms on Friday May 30.
The album which has already divided opinion in Uganda for the singer’s change in music direction has spawned two songs that have trended since December, Circumference and Motivation.
With the album release fast approaching, more information about the album and songs is slowly coming to light, in fact at the moment we have also learnt that some people have listened to the album.
On Monday, the singer released a video with Juliana. This was after she listened to the album and had a number of responses.
She notes that it’s an honor the artist invited her for an exclusive listening session because they have grown up together in the industry and seen each other scale different heights. “What has excited me about this sound and Bebe Cool is his ability to sound different, he’s so versatile, it is something I admire,” she says.
Juliana says that where Bebe Cool is musically is something he has earned through his hard work and resilience. Juliana and Bebe Cool are some of the few artists who have stayed relevant in the industry for at least 25 years and are still a reference of the industry.
Both still command respect among peers and industry stakeholders.She notes that she had actually known about some people getting exclusive listening sessions and was waiting for her turn and was glad the phone call eventually came through.
“When you hear this album, it is a different Bebe Cool, you hear growth, he’s someone who wants to inspire even his fellow artists. This is the first time we are hearing a Ugandan album sounding this good, sounding really international,”she says.
She also says that after listening to the album, her favorite song is called Home. According to an insider, Home is strong on strings thanks to the handy work of guitarist and composer Myko Ouma, the song with pop vibe and dynamic beats, the song is said to be a call back to another Bebe Cool classic, Love You Everyday.
Bebe Cool announced the release of his Break the Chains album at the beginning of the year. The album, whose first single was Circumference is a change from what Bebe Cool has been doing over the years.
The song produced by renowned producer Philkeys, has got Africa talking, and has received mixed reactions since it was released on December 13, 2024.Break the Chains will be available on Spotify, Tidal, YouTube Music, Amazon Music, and Boom Play among others.
