After a brief hiatus from the spotlight, Germany-based Kenyan songstress Pety Nila is back with a soulful new release titled “Shibe,” featuring rising Tanzanian artist Paradize. The single marks her highly anticipated return to the music scene and serves as the lead single off her upcoming EP, Overdose, set to drop soon.
“Shibe” a Swahili word meaning “satisfied,” is a tender, emotionally charged love song that speaks to the complexities of longing, closure, and emotional connection. The track blends smooth Afrobeat rhythms with East African musical influences, delivering a refreshing yet heartfelt listening experience. Both Pety Nila and Paradise bring compelling vocal chemistry to the record, making it a standout duet for fans of contemporary African music.
The visuals for “Shibe” are just as evocative. Set against moody, cinematic backdrops, the video captures the raw emotions of heartbreak, yearning, and eventual resolution. Through powerful performance shots and expressive storytelling, Pety Nila takes the audience on a personal journey of rediscovery and healing.
Lyrically, the track delves into themes of searching for answers and clarity in relationships, emotions that many listeners can relate to. Nila’s voice, tinged with vulnerability and strength, carries the weight of those emotional struggles while still offering a sense of hope.
“Shibe” is more than just a comeback single; it’s a declaration of artistry, growth, and emotional resilience. As anticipation builds for her forthcoming EP Overdose, this latest offering shows that Pety Nila is not only back, but she’s back with purpose.
