Mavo is back with a new collaboration single, “Call Me,” and he’s not coming alone. The rising Afrobeats artist links up with Ghanaian star Gyakie, Brazilian legend Ronaldinho Gaúcho, Tu Musica and executive producer KJ Spio for a record that’s built to live on both football highlight reels and late‑night playlists. The track dropped June 9, 2026 as Mavo’s latest release on streaming platforms, adding to a run that already includes singles like “Mofe,” “Energy” and “Come On.”
“Call Me” leans into smooth, mid‑tempo Afrobeats rather than full street‑pop chaos. Gyakie brings her signature soft, melodic delivery to the hook, while Mavo handles the verses with a relaxed confidence that fits the song’s “if you need me, I’m one call away” theme. Ronaldinho’s presence is more about energy and branding than pure vocals—he appears in the video and rollout as a cultural co‑sign, tying the song directly into the current World Cup moment and reinforcing the Afro‑Brazil football‑music connection.
For Mavo, “Call Me” is another step in a steady climb. Earlier this year he dropped “Mofe,” a single praised for fusing street‑pop energy with airy synths and melodic delivery, and critics pointed out how he balances charm and grit while speaking to a generation chasing love, money and recognition. That same sensibility shows up on “Call Me,” but with a softer, more romantic framing and the added benefit of Gyakie’s cross‑border fanbase and Ronaldinho’s global name recognition.
The collaboration also fits a broader 2026 trend of Afrobeats artists building multi‑territory records—Nigeria x Ghana x Brazil x UK—designed to travel quickly on TikTok, football edits and festival stages. With “Call Me,” Mavo positions himself not just as a local rising act but as someone comfortable in that international, multi‑genre lane, making the single a smart play both musically and strategically as World Cup season puts global attention back on African and diaspora sounds.
