Chechii Unleashes Stunning New Single ‘Mi Paddi’ ft. Kracktwist & Samza

Chechii’s Mi Paddi is a warm, exuberant track that marks a noticeable pivot toward brightness in the rising singer-songwriter’s already impressive discography. Following the introspective textures of Underwater and Little Black Bird, her latest release trades solitary reflection for celebration—with mixed but mostly effective results.

Produced with a breezy confidence, Mi Paddi showcases Chechii’s skill in merging Afrobeat rhythms with pop and R&B stylings. The beat is effervescent, all shakers and low-end bounce, underscored by melodic runs that evoke open skies and long summer days. Her vocals are delicate but assured, tracing arcs of nostalgia and gratitude without slipping into sentimentality.

Featuring Kracktwist and Samza—two Sierra Leonean artists whose chemistry with Chechii feels intuitive—the song gains additional dynamism. Their verses introduce a conversational cadence that enriches the track’s central theme of friendship. It’s one of the track’s more effective emotional hooks, illustrating how connection can be sonic as well as lyrical.

Still, there are moments where Mi Paddi leans a bit too hard into its celebratory aesthetic, softening the emotional edges that defined Chechii’s earlier work. The result is a track that’s infectious, yes, but occasionally veers into overly polished territory.

That said, Mi Paddi signals a deliberate evolution in Chechii’s sound—more open, more collaborative, and unapologetically global. It’s a pivot that places her firmly within the Afro-fusion movement’s rising generation, even if she’s still fine-tuning how best to blend personal intimacy with pop-scale production.
