Turn Up the Volume! Kizz Daniel & Adekunle Gold Drop “Pano Tona” and We’re Listening
This year, there seems to be no stopping Kizz Daniel. After celebrating a decade in music with the release of two singles, “Marhaba” and “We Must,” he’s back with a brand-new single, “Pano Tona,” featuring fellow artist Adekunle Gold.
Produced by Philkeys, Blaise Beat, and Reward Beats, ‘“Pano Tona” merges Kizz Daniel’s signature smooth, melodic style with Adekunle Gold’s dynamic Afro-fusion sound. “Pano Tona” is a song that celebrates resilience, success, and faith in the face of obstacles.
Both artists reflect on their journeys from humble beginnings to achieving wealth and recognition. They acknowledge the challenges they’ve faced, with lines about people trying to “turn off” their light or success (“Bi won sen pana mi, mo tun tana” – “If they try to turn off my light, I’ll turn it back on”). Still, they express confidence in their ability to overcome adversity through persistence and divine support.
In the chorus, they pray for protection and blessings (“K’oluwa gbewa gege o” – “May God protect us”), showing a desire for continued growth and freedom from negativity. They also express staying grounded, savoring the art of music rather than being swept up in the trappings of fame and wealth.
Reflecting on his recent achievements and the new single, Kizz Daniel said, “It’s been a remarkable year for me with the success of the songs I have released thus far celebrating a decade spent in the industry, and it only pushed me to create even more music that fans would love. ‘Pano tona’ with Adekunle is part of that journey.”
Adekunle Gold adds, “’Pano Tona’ is a track that celebrates our shared love for Afrobeat.”
