KELEBU

Rema's back and bringing the fire with Kelebu, a super energetic track that's gonna tear up the dance floor. Dropped August 1st, 2025, this song is Rema taking things up a notch, giving a nod to old-school African dance music but with a fresh, amped-up vibe.

London produced Kelebu, and it’s a total rhythm and nostalgia trip. It's like bottling the crazy vibe from Rema's HEIS world tour—where he killed it at places like Madison Square Garden, The O2, and Accor Arena—and turning it into a beat that just makes you wanna move. With beats that pull you in, hints of French and Caribbean sounds, and a chorus that screams youthful fun, this track will bring you back to when you could just let loose and dance without a care.

Rema says, When I was little, I didn't have a phone telling me what to like. We just danced. We didn’t care about the words. Just needed a sound and a beat.” Kelebu is all about that feeling, bringing back that carefree happiness that's missing from today's club scene. And, being Rema, he's putting up $10,000 to reward the best dance to the song—a way to try and get that real, no-holds-barred joy back into nightlife.

After crashing Drake’s Wireless set and turning heads at Paris Fashion Week, Rema's heading into something fresh. HEIS made him a worldwide star, but Kelebu is him digging deeper into what made him who he is while still trying things nobody else is. With new music coming soon and the UK in the past—for now—Rema's changing the game, one beat at a time.
