Afrobeats superstar Tekno is back with a new release, “Powerbank,” a feel-good, love-charged single set to dominate airwaves and dance floors this year.
Out now on emPawa Africa and Cartel Music, the track is accompanied by a cinematic music video starring beloved Nollywood actress Regina Daniels, adding star power and pop culture appeal to this romantic anthem.
Shot in Abuja and directed by acclaimed filmmaker Kemz, the video tells a light-hearted story of passion and connection, mixing high-speed car chases with tender moments between Tekno and Regina Daniels. The visual brings the lyrics to life, portraying a modern love story rooted in joy, care, and shared energy. Daniels’ appearance adds an undeniable Nollywood flair that fans across Africa will instantly recognise and celebrate.
“Powerbank” is produced by Tekno’s long-time collaborator Selebobo (also known as Mixx Monsta), whose crisp production fuses Afropop rhythms with emotional storytelling. The infectious hook—“You be my powerbank, you charge my battery full”—became the creative spark for the entire song, which Tekno describes as a celebration of “the kind of love that recharges you without asking.” Seamlessly blending wit, rhythm and heartfelt emotion, the song mirrors Tekno’s signature ability to turn everyday moments into timeless hits.
“Powerbank” arrives on the heels of Tekno’s viral single “Alhaji,” which has clocked over 10 million streams and 30,000 TikTok uses, proving once again that Tekno is one of Afrobeats’ most consistent and beloved hitmakers. Known for era-defining tracks like “Pana,” “Skeletun,” and “Wayo,” Tekno continues to evolve his sound while staying true to his Nigerian roots and global ambitions.
As 2025 unfolds, “Powerbank” signals the start of a bold new chapter for Tekno. With more music slated for release this year, fans can expect genre-bending collaborations, innovative visuals, and the kind of sonic storytelling that has made Tekno a staple of African music for over a decade.
“Powerbank” is now available on all major streaming platforms.
