UK-based Afrobeats artist and Grammy-nominated performer Great Adamz steps into a bold new sonic chapter with his latest single, “Umada,” a hypnotic Afro-house and melodic deep-house collaboration produced by Romanian DJ and Billboard-charting producer Manuel Riva.
Blending ritual-like percussion, deep melodic textures, and haunting vocal emotion, Umada creates an immersive sound that moves fluidly between Afro House, Melodic House, and Deep House. Inspired in part by the European club scene, the record delivers an uplifting, dance-floor-ready experience while maintaining the emotional storytelling and vocal warmth that define Great Adamz’s artistry.
Meaning “amazing,” Umada lives up to its title—carrying infectious energy, feel-good rhythms, and a global club appeal designed for late-night movement, shared moments, and repeat listening. The single showcases Adamz’s willingness to evolve beyond genre expectations while remaining authentic to his melodic instincts and expressive delivery.
The production comes from Manuel Riva, whose breakout hit “Mhm Mhm” reached the Top 20 on the Billboard Dance Club Chart and topped Shazam charts across multiple countries. Known for his hypnotic deep-house sound, cinematic atmosphere, and pop-leaning hooks, Riva brings a sleek international polish to Umada, perfectly complementing Adamz’s vocal performance and artistic direction.
Great Adamz enters this release with strong momentum. His single “Jeje” recently reached #1 on Music Week’s Black Music Chart, reinforcing his growing global presence. With a catalogue spanning Afrobeats, Afro-fusion, and crossover sounds—alongside international performances and chart success—he continues to position himself as one of the UK’s most versatile Afro-fusion exports.
For Adamz, Umada represents growth, artistic freedom, and expanded range. Rather than remaining confined to one genre, he explores new sonic territories that bridge cultures, club scenes, and emotional connection—demonstrating a sound capable of traveling globally while staying rooted in authenticity.
The release is supported by a striking official music video and a targeted UK club campaign, positioning the track for strong editorial and dance-floor impact, including potential placement across major streaming playlists such as Tantra, Serotonin, and Melodic & Euphoric.
Beyond the single, fans will have the opportunity to experience Great Adamz live at his second UK headline show, the sold-out Hearts & Harmony Valentine Concert on 14 February 2026 in Northampton, United Kingdom. Featuring Great Adamz and The 99 Band, the intimate performance promises a close, immersive musical experience.
Ultimately, Umada is more than a release—it is a statement of versatility, confidence, and global ambition, uniting two internationally resonant artists in a sound built for both emotional depth and dance-floor connection.
“Umada” is available now on all streaming platforms.
