Young Jonn, the Nigerian singer and producer, joins forces with Franglish, the French-Congolese vocalist, for the single “What Are We.” This song arrives as part of the “Blue Disco” album, produced by Ragee and set for release in late November via Chocolate City Music. Young Jonn, born John Saviours Udomboso, first gained notice as a producer for Nigerian rapper Olamide before stepping into the spotlight with his own vocal hits like “Dada.” His evolution from behind-the-scenes beatmaker to charting artist underscores a career built on melodic Afrobeat foundations. Franglish, real name Francky Losengo, emerged from the Francophone Afro-pop scene, earning recognition for tracks such as “Millionaire” that blend French lyrics with African rhythms. Their collaboration bridges Nigerian and Congolese musical influences, a pairing facilitated by Chocolate City Music, a label with a legacy of elevating African talent since its founding by Audu Maikori.

“What Are We” runs for three minutes, featuring a production by Ghanaian beatmaker Ragee, known for his work with artists like Stonebwoy. The track combines Young Jonn’s English and Pidgin verses with Franglish’s French lines, capturing a dialogue about romantic ambiguity over a danceable backdrop. This multilingual approach reflects the global reach of Afro-pop, a genre that has expanded from its West African roots to international playlists. Young Jonn’s previous project, “Love Is Not Enough,” demonstrated his knack for relatable love songs, while Franglish’s “Vibe” EP showcased his smooth vocal delivery. The “Blue Disco” album title suggests a fusion of Afrobeat and disco elements, continuing trends seen in recent releases from artists like Ayra Starr. Chocolate City Music plans a rollout targeting streaming platforms and radio, aiming to capitalize on the artists’ existing fan bases.
The song’s release comes at a time when Afrobeat collaborations across borders are increasing, driven by digital distribution and label partnerships. Young Jonn’s production credits include hits for Kizz Daniel, reinforcing his expertise in crafting popular sounds. Franglish’s rise parallels the growth of Francophone African music on global charts, with acts like Dadju paving the way. “What Are We” serves as a preview of the album’s direction, likely to appeal to listeners who enjoy rhythmic tracks with lyrical substance. Industry observers note the strategic timing ahead of holiday seasons, potentially boosting streams. This move follows Chocolate City Music’s history of launching successful projects, such as M.I. Abaga’s early albums, which shaped Nigerian hip-hop. The label now focuses on Afro-pop’s crossover potential, with this single as a key example.
