Bebe Cool has of late become an artist who gives people moments, from the time he released both the audio and video for Circumference, the first single off his upcoming album, Break the Chains.
During a roundtable discussion for his new initiative- The Motivation Week, which aired on NBS, Galaxy Fm, and NRG platforms, he announced that he will drop his second single titled Motivation, this Friday February 21st, 2025, across all major music channels on the continent.
But none of this happened in isolation, he also announced that the ongoing Motivation Week is going to become an annual celebration of motivators and a platform to motivate other Ugandans.
This annual Motivation Week will be held every year, the week after Valentine’s Day.
The Motivation Week is a Bebe Cool initiative intended to inspire Ugandans from different fields and sectors, to create a platform that shall offer Ugandans an opportunity to have deep conversations about their challenges and come up with ways to identify motivators as way to progress.
As a father of young adults, Bebe Cool says it is important to inspire others and show them that things can be achieved regardless of one’s background.“I have children, who are growing up, me and my peers have grown up. We all need to motivate each other,” he says.
During the roundtable talk, Bebe Cool addressed a number of things that motivate him; for instance, his need to get his message out got him on a bus to Nairobi.
Then, Bebe Cool wanted to become the biggest dancehall artist, thanks to his inspiration from Jamaican maestro Buju Banton, since he could hardly get a proper studio to give him the amazing sound he was looking for, he took the bus to Nairobi with nothing but hope and motivation.
Motivation is the second single off Bebe Cool’s highly anticipated album- Break the Chains; the album is a journey of Bebe Cool taking yet another journey and venture into the now global sensation Afrobeats.
Bebe Cool says that the world is currently listening to Afrobeats and thus, as an artist, he believes it is better to embrace the sound than resist.
The audio and visuals of Motivation will be released this Friday, and music lovers that would like to pre-save the song can do so by clicking this link https://orcd.co/motivation_bebecool, or visit streaming platforms like Spotify, Apple Music, Amazon Music, Tidal, Boomplay, and Audiomack, among others.
