The bold first drop from his upcoming genre-defining project, ‘Life Of The Party’
After a wave of live momentum and steady radio co-signs, Gwamz kicks off his next chapter with “French Tips” , a slick, self-assured banger featuring the infectious voice of Efosa. Tapping into the bounce-heavy magic of amapiano while keeping one foot in the UK’s rhythmic underground, this track is more than a single, it is part of a very exciting announcement of what is next to come for Gwamz.
“French Tips” doesn’t waste time. Built around rolling drums, chopped-up vocal samples and a tight melodic groove, Gwamz rides the beat with ease, bringing his signature percussive flow and a cheeky charisma that feels effortless. Efosa slides in with a hook that compliments the whole record and together they deliver something that hits hard in the night but still feels personal in your headphones during the day.
The track is the first release from Gwamz’s forthcoming project ‘Life Of The Party’ — a seven-track journey through afro-fusion, hip-hop, R&B, and amapiano. Life Of The Party is set to be the sound of Gwamz pushing for something new, blending worlds with intention, confidence, and lived-in finesse.
Speaking on the track himself, Gwamz lays down some words: “I’ve always said the beat comes first,” says Gwamz. “It’s the foundation. Without that bounce, that groove, the rest doesn’t land. ‘French Tips’ is fun — but it’s also sharp. You’ll feel it before you even know what I’m saying.”
Fresh off a sold-out UK tour supporting rising star Skeete, including key London dates at The Lower Third and Islington Assembly Hall, Gwamz is building real momentum. With support already in from BBC 1Xtra, Capital Xtra, KISS Fresh, and more, “French Tips” sets the tone for a project that blends dancefloor heat with introspective textures — from the hypnotic pull of Vibrate (ft. BXKS) to stripped-back slow burners like YAGI. Every track is part of the bigger picture. This is the sound of someone building a lane of their own — not just joining the party, but defining it.
Raised in South West London with deep Ghanaian roots, Gwamz’s music reflects the collision of cultures that define his life — from Burna Boy’s melodic intricacy to the grit of UK rap and the emotional depth of R&B influences like H.E.R. and Kehlani. It’s all in there, but never forced.
