Emerging Nigerian recording artist JaceBen continues to build momentum with the release of his emotionally charged new single, “With You“, featuring vocalist CiCeLy.
The record blends Afro-influenced rhythms with melodic rap sensibilities, delivering a sound that bridges Lagos’ vibrant music culture with contemporary global trends. Centered on vulnerability, loyalty and emotional transparency, “With You” reflects a growing wave of young African artists embracing introspective storytelling.
JaceBen’s recent trajectory underscores his rising profile. His previous releases have generated over 115,000 cumulative streams across digital platforms, with steady traction on Apple Music and Spotify playlists within Nigeria’s emerging artist categories. His single releases have also seen consistent growth in first-week streaming performance, signaling an expanding listener base.
CiCeLy’s soulful vocals add emotional depth and balance to the track, enhancing its crossover appeal and reinforcing JaceBen’s evolving sonic direction.
Beyond the music, the artist views this release as part of a long-term global strategy.
“My vision isn’t just to make songs that trend for a week,” JaceBen says. “I want to build a catalog that lasts. I’m creating music that connects emotionally, not just locally but globally. The goal is to represent Nigeria on bigger stages while staying authentic to who I am.”
The single’s minimalist silhouette cover art reinforces themes of intimacy and reflection – a visual identity that aligns with his emotionally driven brand.
As Nigeria’s music industry continues to command international attention, JaceBen represents a new generation focused not only on virality, but on scalability, brand longevity and cross-border resonance.
“With You” will be available on all major streaming platforms worldwide.
