Fast-rising Nigerian artist Kunmie is back with the remix of his viral hit Arike, this time featuring Afropop star Simi and UK singer-songwriter Mabel.
Originally a TikTok sensation that skyrocketed to No. 2 on Spotify’s Global Viral Chart, Arike now returns with fresh emotion and global appeal.
A Cross-Border Collaboration That Hits Different
Simi opens the remix with her signature grace, soft yet assertive, adding depth and femininity to the romantic ballad. Mabel follows with her smooth London vibe, proving love’s language is universal.
Kunmie remains the emotional core, his voice still pleading but now echoed by two powerful perspectives. The remix transforms Arike from a solo heartbreak plea into a shared conversation about love, vulnerability, and self-worth.
This collaboration cements Kunmie’s spot as one of Nigeria’s most promising voices and hints at a bigger sound to come.
