It is followed by \u201cPress Button,\u201d produced by Yung Willis, which injects a more energetic, dancehall-inspired bounce while retaining the melodic ease that runs throughout the project.<\/p>\n<p>At the heart of the album is \u201cAdaeze,\u201d the project\u2019s focus track and emotional centrepiece. Produced by D\u2019Meek and Justopac, the song finds Tekno at his most vulnerable, reflecting on the frustration and uncertainty of loving someone who has suddenly grown distant.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cMatter\u201d follows with a different perspective. Self-produced by Tekno, the record transforms loyalty into a sing-along anthem, built around the simple but effective declaration that the concerns of a loved one become your own.<\/p>\n<p>On \u201cPort Au Prins,\u201d Tekno pushes devotion even further. Framed around the idea of crossing borders for love, the song finds him willing to leave everything behind in pursuit of the woman who occupies his thoughts.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWedding Day\u201d shifts the album into a more celebratory space, exploring commitment and the promise of forever through melodies that feel intimate and uplifting. Produced by Tekno and Tino, it reflects the natural progression of many of the emotions explored earlier in the project.<\/p>\n<p>The mood lightens on \u201cGently,\u201d another self-produced record that embraces romance with easygoing confidence, before the album closes with \u201cAvelay.\u201d Produced by <a href=\"https:\/\/guardian.ng\/life\/music\/yung-willisconversing-life-of-the-party\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Yung Willis<\/a>, the song wraps affection, responsibility, and generosity into a catchy, feel-good finale. Built around the phrase \u201cI dey available,\u201d it presents love as presence: showing up, providing, and being dependable when it matters most.<\/p>\n<p>Overall, <em>Where Did Love Go?<\/em> explores romance from multiple angles: desire, uncertainty, devotion, commitment, and responsibility. It is a reminder of why Tekno remains one of Afrobeats\u2019 most compelling voices, consistently translating everyday emotions into songs that resonate far beyond the dancefloor.<\/p>\n<p><!-- CONTENT END 3 -->\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Tekno has released his highly anticipated new album, Where Did Love Go?, an eight-track body of work that reaffirms the qualities that have made him one of the genre\u2019s most enduring hitmakers: melody, vulnerability, and an instinctive understanding of romance.
