Tekno - Powerbank (Official Video)
Tekno Returns with ‘Powerbank’ – A Charged-Up Summer Anthem.
Trailblazer Tekno is back and buzzing with energy as he drops ‘Powerbank’, a feel-good single that’s equal parts romantic, cheeky, and irresistibly catchy. Teaming up once again with producer Selebobo (of Wizkid and Davido fame), Tekno crafts a shimmering afropop groove centred on the kind of love that sustains you – “like a powerbank charging your battery full.”
The track may have started as a playful lyric, but it’s evolved into a smooth, soulful anthem that celebrates emotional intimacy with a wink. As always, Tekno blends vibrant rhythms with heartfelt storytelling – proof he’s still one of afrobeats’ most consistent hitmakers.
The video, directed by Kemz and set in Abuja, plays like a mini Nollywood film. Tekno stars opposite fan-favourite actress Regina Daniels, bringing romantic tension, humour, and even a full-blown car chase into the mix. The chemistry crackles, and the visual flair only elevates the track’s charm.
Released via his Cartel Music and emPawa Africa partnership, ‘Powerbank’ follows the viral success of ‘Alhaji’, which racked up over 10 million streams and tens of thousands of TikTok spins. With this release, Tekno signals what he calls his “most intentional era yet” – and judging by the vibe, he’s just getting started.
With a career that’s spanned global hits like ‘Pana’, ‘Buga’, and ‘Skeletun’, plus high-profile collaborations with Beyoncé, Drake, and Davido, Tekno continues to prove why he’s a cornerstone of the afrobeats movement. If ‘Powerbank’ is anything to go by, summer 2025 belongs to him.
