Tekno Returns With Infectious New Single “Foolish”
Tekno steps back into the limelight with “Foolish,” a refreshing reminder of why he remains one of Afrobeats’ finest melody crafters. Built on a mid-tempo bounce, airy percussion, and a hypnotic guitar loop, the production leans into Tekno’s signature “less is more” formula — simple on the surface, impossible to replicate in practice. Every element serves one purpose: to give Tekno’s unmistakable voice the room to glide.
Despite its title, “Foolish” isn’t about stupidity — it’s about the kind of reckless, heart-first love that makes even the smartest people act wild. Tekno delivers the lyrics in his familiar blend of English, Pidgin, and playful slang, turning every line into a rhythmic hook. The call-and-response chorus feels built for concerts, destined for crowds to shout back at him with full energy.
What separates “Foolish” from the countless love songs flooding the scene is its charm. Tekno performs with a wink, adding humour and lightness without losing groove. Subtle layers — backing vocals, shakers, percussion textures — slowly build the track into a certified earworm. By the second hook, the melody is already glued to your mind.
Commercially, this is a slow-burn anthem, not a loud club banger. It’s the type of track DJs use to maintain the vibe, the song that quietly dominates radio because it never gets tiring. It fits perfectly into today’s Afrobeats soundscape, where mood and melody lead the way.
With “Foolish,” Tekno proves once again that he hasn’t missed a step. While the industry chases trends, he continues delivering the essentials: infectious rhythm, effortless melodies, and that cool, charismatic swagger only Tekno can pull off.
