Tanzanian superstar Diamond Platnumz is extending his global footprint with a new collaboration that has earned him high praise from American R&B singer Ciara.
The two artists teamed up on Low, a cross-cultural love song that blends Ciara’s smooth R&B sound with Diamond’s Swahili melodies and signature Bongo Flava.
Although the track is not part of the standard 14-track edition of Ciara’s new album CiCi—released on August 22, 2025—fans are convinced it will headline the upcoming deluxe version, following live previews and viral snippets online.
Speaking on The Breakfast Club in the U.S., Ciara was full of admiration for her East African collaborator.
“Diamond is so dope. The vibe was just right. He brought so much energy and authenticity to the record. I love exploring new sounds and connecting with different cultures, and this song really feels special.”
CiCi marks Ciara’s eighth studio album and her first in six years, released under her independent label, Beauty Marks Entertainment.
On social media, she described the project as her “love letter” to fans—symbolizing freedom, strength, and new beginnings.
“This album right here is my love letter. A celebration of the journey—and more importantly, a thank you to you, my Day 1s and Day 21s. You’ve stuck by me through every era, every evolution, and every independent leap of faith. Let’s be real—being independent isn’t for the faint of heart, but y’all? Y’all gave me the courage to keep pushing, to keep dreaming, and to keep dancing like nobody’s watching (even though millions of you are, lol),” she posted.
“Truth is, this season of life has been about forging my own path and tapping deeper into my inner drive. No label, no limits—just full-on freedom and faith. It’s been a journey of unlearning, rebuilding, and reclaiming what success looks like on my own terms,” she added on her socials.
With Ciara’s endorsement and mounting anticipation for Low, Diamond Platnumz continues to secure his place as one of Africa’s most prominent stars on the global stage.
