Ugandan Music Legend Bebe Cool Releases New Album ‘Break The Chains’

Ugandan music icon and cultural powerhouse Bebe Cool has officially dropped his highly anticipated album ‘Break the Chains’ – now available for streaming on all major streaming platforms. The album delivers lush arrangements, rich melodies and genre‑blending compositions that showcase his evolution while staying true to the artistry that propelled him to stardom.

During his album launch celebration in Kampala, Bebe Cool remarked, “This marks the start of a fresh chapter for both African music and Ugandan music at large. With this record, I aim to inspire, innovate, and demonstrate that African artists can narrate compelling stories while claiming our digital space.”

This 17‑track collection signals a bold and rejuvenating phase in Bebe Cool’s celebrated career. Known for shaping the contemporary Ugandan sound and pioneering East Africa’s musical identity, he pushes forward with a blend of Afrobeats, Afropop, Afrotech and Afro‑house, all anchored by his distinctive voice and emotive delivery.

‘Break the Chains’ features high‑profile collaborations with Nigerian Afropop star Yemi Alade on “African Love”, rising Ugandan talent Joshua Baraka on “Cheque”, and Kenyan DJ/producer DJ Edu on “Games”.

The album’s lead single, “Circumference” produced by Nigerian hitmaker PhilKeyz, introduced a playful yet sonically rich anthem that fuses Afro‑beat rhythms with Bebe Cool’s signature flair. The follow‑up single, “Motivation” produced by Bushington and Melanin Boy, showcased a more romantic and inspirational side of Bebe Cool. The track was supported by a cinematic music video directed by South Africa’s Garrick Williams.

Bebe Cool’s musical path has always been marked by reinvention. From his early days in Nairobi as one of the first artists signed to Ogopa Deejays, to his success with Necessary Noize as part of the award‑winning East African Bashment Crew, he has continually pushed creative boundaries. Hits like “Africa Unite” and “Fire Anthem” helped shape a generation of African music lovers. With ‘Break the Chains’, he extends that legacy—bridging cultures, genres, and generations through music.

This record delivers a compelling blend of dance anthems, love songs, and thoughtful reflections that showcase Bebe Cool’s versatility and capacity to evolve. From the booming energy of Afrotech beats to tender ballads rooted in Afro‑pop, it celebrates sound, identity, and artistic freedom.

Break the Chains is now available on all digital streaming platforms. Explore it on Spotify, Apple Music, YouTube Music and all major streaming platforms.
