An Europe-based artiste, Collins Peter, aka Kollinz, has said his new single titled, Man Down, was inspired by the Ukrainian war which broke out in February 2022.

Speaking on how he was inspired to write the songs, he said in a statement sent to Sunday Scoop, “I saw warplanes flying around and bombs landing everywhere (in Ukraine). My wife was heavily pregnant at the time and my sister had just arrived few months earlier for her studies. I remembered waking them up in the middle of the night when it all started and we had to pack up a few items light enough to allow us run or walk long distance if needed. Luckily, we found a train that took us straight to Poland, an experience I wouldn’t wish for anyone.

“Therefore, the song ‘Never Let Go’, which was a rap song, was dedicated to Ukraine. Now, I am out of the trauma and ready to continue releasing good afrobeat music to the world. ‘Man Down’ is the first of many vibes to come, produced and recorded in Kiev, Ukraine, but had to wait one year to release it because of the war.”
