Rising Afrobeats Star John Tony Unveils Soulful New Single “Lodun”

Afrobeats and R&B artist John Tony today announces the release of his new single, “Lodun”,  a deeply personal record that showcases the artist’s signature blend of smooth melodies, rhythmic Afrobeats energy, and emotionally resonant storytelling.

“Lodun” arrives as one of the most anticipated singles from John Tony’s rapidly building catalogue. The record draws on themes of love, longing, and vulnerability,  emotions that have become the cornerstone of John Tony’s artistic identity. With lush production and a performance that moves between tender introspection and infectious rhythm, “Lodun” demonstrates exactly why John Tony is poised to become one of the most compelling voices in the new wave of Afrobeats.

A Sound That Moves You

John Tony has carved a lane that feels distinctly his own;  warm, relatable, and undeniably modern. Where many artists choose between Afrobeats’ dancefloor energy and R&B’s emotional depth, John Tony refuses the trade-off. “Lodun” is the fullest expression of that vision to date: a record that holds you still and moves your body at the same time.

I wanted to make something that people feel before they understand it. Lodun is about that moment when you’re all in, when you give someone everything and you don’t know if they’ll hold it. I think a lot of people know that feeling. - John Tony
