Konyikeh Comes Through With ‘Mercenary’ Single
25 Feb 2026
British musician Konyikeh has come through with her latest single, ‘Mercenary’. The track has been accompanied by an atmospheric visual shot by Ivor Lawson-Adamah.
From touring with the likes of Sam Smith and Tems to an unforgettable COLORS performance, this is an artist who is on a steady climb to stardom. Drawing inspirations from a multitude of genres, from amapiano to Arabic scales, there is no doubting her innate musicality.
Speaking on the release, Konyikeh states:
“Mercenary in the simplest sense is basically me scorning how some people place themselves on a pedestal ethically but can abandon core values and principles as soon as something they think is ‘shiny’ is placed in front of them.”
