French-Angolan artist, songwriter, and producer AGATCHU returns with his highly anticipated sophomore EP, VIBE, out now via leading French indie label Play Two. Following the introspective soul-searching of his debut project Believe, this six-track offering marks a confident and creatively unbound chapter for the rising star.
Rooted in Afrobeats, R&B, bossa nova, semba, kompa, and rich global textures, VIBE is both intimate and expansive, journey through Lisbon, Paris, Luanda, Lagos, and beyond. With lyrics in French, Portuguese, English, and Yoruba, AGATCHU effortlessly bridges continents and cultures while staying grounded in emotional truth.
From the Brazilian-tinged romanticism of “Chance” to the hypnotic pulse of “Maradona”, each track offers a vibe check for the heart and spirit. The EP features standout collaborations with African heavyweights Cef Tanzy (Angola), Ya Levis (Congo), and Nelson Freitas, each adding a unique cultural and vocal dimension to the project.
Crafted between Luanda, Paris, Lisbon, and London, VIBE is the product of deep creative synergy and a commitment to boundary-breaking sound. More than just music, it is a statement of identity, unity, and global connection.
Since launching his solo career in 2024 after years behind the scenes as a producer and writer, AGATCHU has quickly become one of the most exciting new voices in global music. With industry acclaim from Spotify, Apple Music, BBC 1Xtra, Capital Xtra, Numero, Notion Magazine, and Vevo DSCVR, he continues to gain momentum as a genre-defying force.
