The Adeleke family continues to expand its musical footprint with Nikos, the Nigerian-American singer born Adenike Adeleke. On November 25, 2025, she released the visualiser for ‘Call My Name’, the follow-up to her debut single that has positioned her as an artist to watch in the Afrobeats space. Produced by award-winning hitmaker Young Jonn and co-written by Peruzzi, the track represents a serious statement of intent from an artist building her career with strategic precision.

Building on a Strong Foundation

Nikos’s debut single ‘DnD’ established her presence in the market, garnering a combined one million views across censored and explicit versions. Rather than rushing to capitalise on this attention, ‘Call My Name’ arrives with the careful consideration of an artist taking her time to develop. The single dropped on November 14, 2025, with the visualiser following eleven days later.

Production Pedigree

The collaboration with Young Jonn and Peruzzi signals Nikos’s access to Afrobeats’ upper echelons of talent. Young Jonn’s production credits read like a history of the genre’s biggest hits, whilst Peruzzi’s songwriting has shaped numerous chart successes. Blending Afrobeats with mid-tempo Highlife elements and soft R&B melodies, ‘Call My Name’ explores themes of longing, desire, and emotional vulnerability.

Early online reactions have been mixed but lively. Listeners have praised the song’s catchy hook and polished production, whilst some comments have addressed the growing number of Adeleke family members entering music. Nikos, however, appears focused on establishing her artistry on its own merits, with the quality of her collaborators and the care evident in her releases serving as her primary responses to any scepticism.

Carving Her Own Lane

The track demonstrates Nikos’s ability to deliver a self-aware song about attraction and appeal whilst maintaining musical sophistication. As the single gains traction on major streaming platforms including Spotify, Apple Music, and Audiomack, Nikos positions herself not merely as a famous family’s relative but as an artist with genuine contribution to make to Afrobeats’ ongoing evolution.
