Osé – Bother Me

Rising AfroSoul artist Osé releases her new single “Bother Me,” via RCA Records/MBK Entertainment.

Rooted in AfroSoul, “Bother Me” blends softness and edge, reflecting themes of self-worth and emotional boundaries, delivered with a tone that is both effortless and unmistakably self-assured. Joining Osé on the track is Nigerian artist Victony, known for his genre-blending sound and global breakout records including “Soweto.” He brings a melodic counterpoint to the song, adding depth and emotional contrast to Osé’s controlled delivery.

“Bother Me” captures a new level of confidence and clarity for Osé. It pairs her signature emotional depth with a more immediate, self-possessed energy. With the record, she steps into a more direct and assertive creative space, moving beyond slow-burn storytelling into a sound that feels immediate, intentional, and quietly commanding.

“What I love about ‘Bother Me’ is that it holds both confidence and vulnerability at the same time,” says Osé. “It’s calm, but it still says a lot. I recorded it in Nigeria and it pushed me out of my comfort zone. This record was me asserting my dominance.”

As her profile continues to rise, Osé is gaining recognition for her distinct voice and cross-cultural sound. Coming off a strong run of performances during Detty December, the celebrated end-of-year festival season across West Africa, she enters 2026 with serious momentum. Her growing list of collaborators and supporters includes acclaimed artists such as Tems and H.E.R., industry co-signs that signal a widening global reach and reflect her building momentum.

With “Bother Me,” Osé continues to define her lane at the intersection of AfroSoul and global R&B, emerging as an artist whose presence feels both effortless and undeniable. The track is produced by Spellz, a respected Nigerian hitmaker known for shaping the sound of contemporary Afrobeats, with credits alongside artists including Wizkid and Tiwa Savage.
