Bebe Cool has announced that the music video for his latest single, Circumference, will be released on Wednesday, January 8, 2025.
Taking to his social media earlier today, the Ugandan music icon also promised fans a behind-the-scenes look at the making of the song and its visuals.
The single, which was released on December 13 as the first track off his upcoming album Break the Chains, has already sparked mixed reactions from fans and critics.
While some have applauded the artist for embracing Afrobeats, others have expressed reservations about his new direction.
Despite the divided opinions, Bebe Cool’s announcement has created excitement among his followers as they await the visuals.
Bebe Cool List Set to Drop on New Year’s Day
Before the video’s release, Bebe Cool plans to uphold another annual tradition—his highly anticipated Bebe Cool List, which is set to drop on January 1, 2025.
The list, known for its bold critique of Uganda’s music industry, ranks artists based on their performance over the past year.
“Get ready for the most honest, bold, and most credible analysis of the Ugandan music industry,” Bebe Cool wrote in his announcement.
The list has a reputation for stirring controversy, often earning the singer both admiration and criticism.
This year, the main question dominating online discussions is whether Bebe Cool will include Circumference on his list, despite its recent release.
Known for occasionally featuring his own work, the singer has once again sparked curiosity about his rankings.
Circumference and Break the Chains
The single Circumference marks a significant shift in Bebe Cool’s musical style, with the artist exploring the Afrobeats genre.
While some critics argue that this change departs from his roots, others commend his efforts to appeal to a wider audience and break into global markets.
The title of his upcoming album, Break the Chains, reflects his ambition to transcend regional boundaries and push his artistic limits.
