As he gears up for the release of his highly anticipated sophomore album BlownBoy, Afrobeats sensation Ruger unveils a heartfelt new single, ‘Toro’.
A departure from his usual carefree and flirtatious persona, Toro is a deeply emotional love song that sees Ruger reflecting on a past relationship he regrets losing.
“I wrote Toro after I fumbled a real and true relationship,” the singer revealed, offering fans a glimpse into the personal inspiration behind the song.
The track premiered with an exclusive COLORS Show performance, where Ruger’s smooth vocals and raw emotions shone through. Fusing Afrobeats with R&B elements, Toro delivers a soul-stirring listening experience that showcases his versatility.
The release follows Jay Jay, his bold Valentine’s Day anthem celebrating independence and self-love.
With Toro, Ruger continues to build anticipation for BlownBoy, set to drop on March 28, 2025. The album follows his debut LP Ru The World, which housed major hits like ‘Asiwaju’, ‘Jonzing Boy’, and ‘Red Flag’.
After a successful 2024, which saw him collaborate with BNXN on their critically acclaimed joint project RnB, Ruger is poised to take his artistry to new heights.
Since breaking into the mainstream five years ago with his hit EP Pandemic—which spawned chart-toppers like ‘Bounce’, ‘Ruger’, and ‘Abu Dhabi’—Ruger has remained one of Afrobeats’ most dynamic and exciting hitmakers. His signature bad boy energy and undeniable talent have won him a devoted global fanbase, and Toro is yet another testament to his musical evolution.
