Nigerian rising star Evado joins forces with street-pop heavyweight Bella Shmurda for the highly anticipated “By Now (Remix),” officially released worldwide on Wednesday, July 29, 2026. The new version brings together two distinct musical identities, creating a powerful collaboration that blends indigenous rhythms with contemporary street-pop energy.
Originally released as Track 3 on Evado’s studio album Promise Land, which arrived on March 27, 2026, “By Now” quickly became a fan favorite and a streaming success. The original record gained major attention online, surpassing 4.3 million Spotify streams before the release of the remix, further increasing anticipation for this upgraded version.
Celebrated as an “East meets West” collaboration, the remix connects Evado’s South-Eastern-influenced sound with Bella Shmurda’s signature street-pop melodies and emotional delivery. While many listeners believe Bella’s appearance could push the track to a wider audience and strengthen its mainstream appeal, some longtime fans have also shared concerns about preserving the original song’s unique atmosphere.
With its fresh energy, memorable melodies, and the chemistry between both artists, “By Now (Remix)” arrives as a promising new chapter for Evado while giving fans another reason to revisit one of his standout records.
