Nigerian heavyweight Zlatan teams up with rising star Qing Madi to deliver “Demons,” a powerful and introspective new single that delves into the darker corners of love and personal struggle. Serving as the second lead single from Zlatan’s highly anticipated third studio album, Symbol of Hope, the track offers a raw look at the artist’s evolving artistry ahead of the project’s October 17, 2025 release.
“Demons” masterfully blends Zlatan’s signature gritty, commanding delivery with Qing Madi’s ethereal and soulful harmonies, creating a compelling sonic tension. The production builds a haunting soundscape where pulsating basslines and intricate percussion underscore themes of vulnerability, doubt, and the quest for redemption. Together, they explore the metaphorical “demons” that plague a relationship—those forces of passion, jealousy, and heartbreak that test the very limits of devotion.
This collaboration is more than just a song; it’s a narrative of internal conflict, delivered with a raw authenticity that marks a significant moment in Zlatan’s discography. It showcases his commitment to pushing the boundaries of street-hop by infusing it with deeper emotional resonance, while Qing Madi’ luminous vocals provide the perfect counterpoint, highlighting the potent synergy between two distinct generations of Nigerian talent.
