British-Ghanaian record producer and artist Juls presents his new solo single ‘ROOTS.’ The four-minute track is entirely self-produced and marks his first release of the year through his independent label, TABOM RECORDS. This move reinforces Juls’s established role as a central architect in the modern Afrobeats and Afro-fusion soundscape. Julian Nicco-Annan, known professionally as Juls, first gained widespread recognition for his production work on hit records like ‘Down Down’ by Mr Eazi and ‘Selfish’ by Stonebwoy. His debut solo project, the ‘Colour’ EP, showcased his ability to blend traditional African rhythms with electronic and soul influences, a style he further developed on subsequent projects like ‘Leap of Faith’ and his album ‘Sounds of My World.’ His work has consistently served as a bridge, connecting diaspora sounds with contemporary pop sensibilities.

The release of ‘ROOTS’ follows a period of high-profile collaborations and production credits for Juls. He has worked with a range of international artists, including Khalid, Masego, and GoldLink, applying his signature percussive textures and melodic warmth to their music. His contribution to the ‘Black Panther: Wakanda Forever’ soundtrack further solidified his standing in global music production. Operating his own TABOM RECORDS provides Juls with direct creative and commercial control, a model that aligns with a growing trend of producer-artists building their own ecosystems. The single’s title suggests a thematic return to foundational inspirations, potentially reflecting on personal heritage or the core musical elements that define his style after years of cross-genre exploration.
For the Afrobeats genre, Juls represents a key evolutionary figure. His production style, often characterized by intricate drum patterns and atmospheric chords, helped define the sonic palette for a generation of African pop music in the last decade. Releasing a self-titled ‘ROOTS’ single now may signal a re-centering of his artistic narrative, emphasizing his origins as both a Ghanaian and London-based creator. This release strategy allows him to engage his core audience directly while testing new ideas outside of collaborative frameworks. It underscores his multifaceted expertise not just as a hitmaker for others, but as a solo artist with a distinct point of view, continuing to shape the scene from within his own venture.
