TENI Returns with a Vibe: Breaking Down Her New Pop Single “Wuru Manya”

If there is one thing we know about Teniola Apata, it is that she never misses. Whether she is going by Teni, the Sugar Mummy, or her government name, the award-winning Nigerian singer, songwriter, and performer always brings an unmistakable energy that you just cannot manufacture.

Fresh off a massive live run that saw her tearing up stages across more than 50 cities globally—including dropping jaws at Coachella with Spinall, stepping out at Madison Square Garden with Davido, and headlining Montreal’s MURAL Festival—she is right back in our headphones with a brand new single.

Her latest release, “Wuru Manya” is an absolute joyride, and it gives us another reason to keep her on constant repeat.

The Vibe: Feel-Good Afropop at Its Finest

Part of her project, The Wellness Package, “Wuru Manya” teams TENI up with the soulful powerhouse Chike. Produced by Spotless, the track marries bouncy Afropop percussion with lush melodies that practically force your head to start nodding.

What makes it work so well is the contrast. You have TENI’s rich, expressive vocal tone paired with Chike’s signature buttery smoothness. It is playful, it is heartfelt, and it carries a simple message: life is too short to carry heavy stress, so you might as well dance through the noise and protect your peace.

Taking Nigerian Sound Global

It feels fitting that a track all about releasing tension and choosing joy drops during such a hectic, high-flying year for TENI. She has spent the past months cementing her status as a true international heavy-hitter:

• Coachella: Bringing unstoppable energy to the desert alongside Spinall.

• Madison Square Garden (MSG): Sharing the stage with Davido in New York.

• Montreal MURAL Festival: Commanding the crowd as a marquee headliner.

Even with massive global stages under her belt, records like “Wuru Manya” prove she stays deeply rooted in the vibrant, expressive groove that made us all fall in love with her in the first place.
