Mavin Records artist Johnny Drille steps outside his signature folk-pop lane on his vibrant new single, Colorado, enlisting label mate Ayra Starr and hitmaker Young Jonn for a refreshing Afro-fusion collaboration.
“Colorado” arrives as a lush, mid-tempo offering that captures the feel-good essence of modern Lagos life, blending genres in a way that feels both effortless and intentional.

Johnny Drille opens with a soulful verse that showcases his vocal range and emotional depth, while Ayra Starr injects her signature “Sabi Girl” confidence, adding a contemporary edge that elevates the track’s appeal. Young Jonn, continuing his impressive run as both producer and vocalist, delivers a memorable hook that anchors the song and gives it strong replay value.
Beyond its title, “Colorado” is less about a physical place and more about a mindset, a space of calm, joy, and vibrancy amid life’s chaos. This theme resonates throughout the track, giving it both emotional warmth and a carefree spirit.
The chemistry between the trio stands out as one of the song’s strongest elements. Despite their distinct musical backgrounds, they come together seamlessly, reflecting the collaborative spirit that defines Mavin Records.
