Just hours after its release, “Wane” by Leul Hailu is already turning heads. The melody is smooth yet potent, the lyrics heartfelt and powerful, and the videography top-notch — all signs that this track is poised to go viral.

From the moment the opening notes hit, you can tell Leul Hailu is at the top of his game. The production quality is crisp and modern but rooted in Ethiopian musical sensibilities; the visual elements bring the song’s mood to life with clean direction, engaging visuals and cinematic appeal. Everything about “Wane” suggests this isn’t just another single, but a statement.

Lyrically, he taps into themes of life, longing and hope — delivering with emotion and craft. Melody-wise, it lingers in your mind long after the first listen. The video complements the track perfectly —is a visual celebration of Amhara culture, beautifully capturing the region’s traditional clothing, dance, and natural landscapes. Shot with cinematic precision, it highlights the artistry and beauty of Ethiopian heritage while adding a contemporary flair. Fans have praised the video’s attention to detail, calling it “a masterpiece that bridges old and new Ethiopia.”

What makes Wane feel especially promising is how it builds on Leul’s recent history. Last year he released his album Esatu Seat (October 2023, under Nahom Records), which marked a milestone in his career with 11 strong tracks and a runtime of about 52 minutes.  That album showed his growth and maturity, and now Wane feels like the next step — more focused, more ambitious, and clearly heading for wider recognition.

The track, released under Nahom Records, marks a strong return for Leul and positions him as one of the most promising voices in Ethiopia’s contemporary music scene. Critics are already calling Wane a “potential viral hit,” thanks to its emotional depth, high-quality visuals, and cultural resonance.
