Ugandan music icon Bebe Cool has announced that he will be releasing the first single, Circumference, off his upcoming music album dubbed “Break The Chains”.

On Monday evening, Bebe Cool made the announcement at a press conference held at the Next Media Park in Naguru.

Produced by Nigerian singer and producer PhilKeyz, Circumference will drop on Friday 13th December 2024 on different music streaming platforms.

Bebe Cool said that Circumference is yet another step to redefine his sound and try out new things to sell Ugandan music to the world.

In his address at the press conference, Bebe Cool highlighted that he did his new album out of passion and the endless pursuit to break boundaries with his music.

If anyone is out there asking, “Why now?!” Let me make this very clear—I’ve got nothing to prove. Not politically. Not culturally. Not financially. And certainly not musically.

I’m doing this purely because I love it. I have challenged myself to push boundaries with a new sound and professionalism that sets the bar where it should be.

Ugandan music has faced backlash from the media for the sheer lack of depth and overall creativity; however, Bebe Cool says with his new music, he will set new standards.

“This is an exciting time for the Ugandan music industry, because I’m here to set a new standard—the standard—of what it means to be an African music legend.”
