Following their collaborative album release Sweet Songs 4 You on June 27, 2025, Ghanaian singer-songwriter Lasmid (Ladsmid Nathaniel Owusu) and Nigeria’s rising Afrobeat star Tml Vibez have delivered another standout track titled “Abena.” This joyful love song clocks in at approximately two minutes and fifty-eight seconds, fitting seamlessly into the album’s vibrant ten-track, twenty-seven-minute journey .
The album Sweet Songs 4 You, released via Dapper Music & Entertainment and licensed to Dvpper Digital, bridges Ghanaian and Nigerian musical styles through pastel Afrobeat rhythms, Latin percussion, flowing flute riffs, house grooves, and even light French phrases. Embedded in this eclectic landscape, “Abena” fuses bachatón rhythms with melodic Afrobeat energy. Its driving dembow percussion and lively guitar layers establish a warm, midtempo bounce.[irp posts=”136112″ ]

On the track, the artists exchange playful praise. Lasmid’s laid-back slurred vocals complement Tml Vibez’s smooth head voice, creating a delightful contrast. The hook—“Baby your body’s on fire, help me call firefighter”—captures romantic admiration in a playful way, setting a tone of exuberant affection .
Lasmid rose to prominence after winning MTN Hitmaker Season 8 in 2019. His reputation was solidified by viral hits like “Friday Night” in 2022 and collaborations with Ghanaian heavyweights including Sarkodie, Kuami Eugene, Medikal, and Kofi Kinaata, plus Nigerian star Naira Marley . Tml Vibez, though newer on the scene, has been building clout with his distinctive vocal tone and melody driven style. A recent studio session in Accra, where he and Lasmid previewed material off the album, went viral and confirmed the strong chemistry between them.
Since launch, “Abena” has been added to digital platforms like Spotify, Apple Music, Audiomack, and Boomplay—each playlist-curated for lovers of Afrobeat, highlife, and pan-African grooves. Tanzanian, Nigerian, and Ghanaian playlists are featuring the track alongside other album favorites like Magic and Bon Appetit . On TikTok and X, fans are already creating videos around the catchy hook under #Abena. One fan post on X captured the sentiment: “abena by Lasmid, Tml Vibez just sweet my morning”.[irp posts=”136101″ ]
