Three years since Tekno’s sophomore album, ‘The More The Better,’ the singer is gearing up for the release of his next studio album. The album, his third. is due to arrive in June with his latest singles, “Bamboo” and “Press Button,”  providing an extensive glimpse of what to expect from the singer. 

Across his 13-year-career, Tekno has maintained a presence and grit that places him among one of Afropop’s earliest savants, supplying generational hits like “Duro,” “Pana,” and “Skeletun,” all electrifying records that catalogued an era of Afropop. “Bamboo” leans into that as a Dancehall track with hard-hitting percussions accentuated by his sonorous vocals. 

Written and self-produced by Tekno, he flexes his production skills that have soundtracked several Afropop hits over the years, including “If,” by Davido, and Kizz Daniel’s “Buga,” where he doubles as an artist. With “Bamboo,” his adeptness on both fronts syncs so well and accentuates his skill at going back and forth between genres. 

As a third album comes inches nearer, “Bamboo” and “Press Button,” are positioned to be the project’s intro, and it’s not far-fetched to expect more of his hypnotic dance bangers upon release.
