Produced for the dancefloor, ‘Tobari’ glides on the wave of Afro-house, amapiano and playful street-pop.
The record begins with an exclusive-lifestyle flex, “Chilling now in Obi’s house, wearing Timbaland from head to toe”, creating g a smooth tone of luxury and late-night groove. The flirtatious hook, “That my koko drives her wild,”wows back to D’Banj’s style, blending confidence with
humour
According to D’Banj, “‘Tobari’ is a celebration of sound and friendship. It’s what happens when icons from different scenes connect; we bring the heat and invite the world to dance with us.”
