Ugandan music lovers are in for an early Christmas treat after music icon Bebe Cool announced the release of his new single Circumference.
Circumference is the first single off his thematic album since Go Mama studio in 2015.
Produced by Nigerian singer and producer PhilKeyz, Circumference combines key elements of Afrobeats such as drum patterns, brass Instrumentation, and the unmissable keys.
Bebe Cool’s catchy melodies and shorter verses complete the bold production, which altogether is both fresh and timeless.
PhilKeyz is not a new name on the Afrobeats scene, having worked with artistes such as Kizz Daniels on songs such as Lie, Nesesari and the 2023 viral single Cough.
Bebe Cool’s Circumference is yet another step by the artiste to redefine his sound and try out new things to sell Ugandan music to the world.
With its infectious energy and deeply relatable topic, Circumference showcases Bebe Cool’s growth as an artiste, capturing both introspection and empowerment in one seamless track.

The single is a glimpse of what Bebe Cool has been working on and the direction he is taking with the album and his music.
Bebe Coo| is not new to pushing the envelope and, at times, experimenting new styles with music.
