Nigerian Prince of Afrobeats Oxlade Links Up With Camila Cabello For New Version of ”KU LO SA”

Nigerian Afrobeats prince Oxlade releases today the new version of his global viral smash “KU LO SA” with GRAMMY® Award-nominated, multi-platinum, and chart-topping singer/songwriter Camila Cabello.

“Camila was the only option I wanted on the remix because she is music and she also is a pure person, a pure soul, it was to me just a dream come true. KU LO SA is a special song to me personally, so it was something of a joy to see her resonate with the way I love the music itself and being excited as I am to put out the song. This made me feel extra special. She even called it “our” song.” [Oxlade]

“I was so excited when Oxlade asked me to be on his remix for “Ku Lo Sa” because I have been such a huge fan of him, his music, and Afrobeats. Writing my part of the song was so easy and I knew this was going to be something special as soon as we started recording and working on the remix together.” [Camila Cabello]
