Usman Bee returns with “KAUNA (Remix),” a love record that pairs Abdul Hassan and Erm Boii on a warm Afro-pop frame. The remix adds a modern touch to his earlier love song while blending Afro-pop with Northern Nigerian sounds.
Taken from his studio album END OF AN ERA II, the track runs two minutes and fifty-eight seconds. It was released under 616 Records and written by Usman B. Usman and Usman Yahaya. The title “Kauna” means “love” or “affection” in Hausa, so the romantic theme sits right at the centre of the record.
Usman Bee leads with a smooth delivery before Abdul Hassan and Erm Boii add their own styles. Abdul Hassan contributes melodic verses, while Erm Boii brings a distinct vocal presence that gives the remix its own identity. Upbeat Afro-pop percussion and melodic Hausa-inspired vocals carry the whole thing.
It suits a slow evening, a long drive, or anyone in their feelings about someone special. The mood stays light and romantic throughout, yet the Northern character never gets lost in the pop polish.
