At the centre of “Matter” is a simple message: standing beside someone completely. Tekno moves effortlessly between affection and confidence, blending pidgin, slang, and melody into a record that is easy to connect with. Sonically, “Matter” sits comfortably between AfroPop and melodic Afrobeats, layering soft percussion, subtle bounce, and chant-like repetition. The production, handled by Tekno himself, reinforces the artist’s hands-on role across the ‘Where Did Love Go?’ album, where he shapes much of the project’s sonic identity directly.
As the latest release from the ‘Where Did Love Go?’ album, “Matter” continues to build the album’s arc, following earlier singles “Bamboo” and “Press Button” while offering a more reflective and relationship-driven layer to the project. “Matter” is now available on all major streaming platforms.
