Zambian singer Towela Kaira links up with Chile One Mr Zambia and Chester on a romantic new single titled “Nakupenda.”
Towela has built a name for herself through emotive, versatile vocal work across Afro-fusion, R&B, and pop. That combination fits comfortably within Towela’s growing catalog of collaborations with the country’s biggest names.
The production leans into warm, melodic instrumentation built to support a love song rather than overshadow it. Nothing here rushes toward a big drop. Because the arrangement stays gentle, all three voices get room to settle into the song’s romantic pocket.
Towela’s delivery carries the emotional lead, favoring tenderness over spectacle throughout. That vulnerability has become one of her clearest strengths as a vocalist.
Chile One and Chester complement her well, adding their own textures without pulling focus from the lead performance. Their contributions deepen the song’s emotional pull rather than competing with it. So the record plays out as a shared declaration rather than separate verses stitched together.
Altogether, “Nakupenda” works because all three artists commit fully to that same warm, romantic tone. Nothing about the delivery feels forced or overdone. That sincerity gives the song real staying power within Zambia’s love song tradition.
“Nakupenda” earns its spot on any playlist built for heartfelt Zambian love songs.
