Nigerian music veteran Mr. P (Peter Okoye), one-half of the legendary P-Square duo, has unveiled his highly anticipated new single, “ODO,” a powerful cross-cultural collaboration featuring Ghanaian dancehall heavyweight Stonebwoy.
The track, which means “love” in the Akan language, dropped today alongside its official music video, which includes a surprise cameo from none other than boxing champion Anthony Joshua. Following his successful solo run with songs like “Winning” and “Attention” in 2024, “ODO” marks a significant moment, seamlessly blending Nigerian Afrobeats with Ghanaian reggae-dancehall flair, a testament to the artists’ mutual admiration and shared artistic vision.
“ODO” is a soulful anthem that expertly fuses smooth vocals, infectious rhythmic beats, and heartfelt lyrics, collectively reflecting a powerful message of love and profound devotion. Produced by Mr. P himself with meticulous engineering by Goldswarm, the track layers Stonebwoy’s fiery dancehall energy with Mr. P’s seasoned Afropop sound. This creates a rich and vibrant sonic tapestry that resonates deeply across West Africa and beyond.
The song’s infectious melody and emotional depth have already ignited widespread excitement, with fans praising its undeniable chemistry and its strong potential to dominate playlists. The accompanying music video, skillfully shot in Accra, amplifies this synergy with vibrant visuals that celebrate African unity, featuring dynamic choreography and a luxurious aesthetic that perfectly complements the track’s overarching theme of devotion.
The release of “ODO” follows weeks of heightened anticipation, with teasers and pre-order links circulating widely across social media, effectively building immense hype for this audio-visual drop. This collaboration perfectly aligns with Mr. P’s ongoing successful solo career, which began after P-Square’s hiatus in 2016, and Stonebwoy’s remarkable global rise, notably marked by his 2015 BET Award for Best International Act: Africa. With both artists expertly leveraging their profound cultural roots and widespread international appeal, “ODO” is unequivocally poised to be a standout track of 2025, destined to unite fans across Nigeria, Ghana, and beyond with its uplifting vibe and powerful cross-border collaborative spirit.
