Ethiopia's contemporary music queen, Melat Kelemwerke, has just dropped her most emotionally charged single yet, "Bekagn" (በቃኝ), a searing ballad that has instantly resonated as the definitive farewell to a toxic love. With her signature vocal prowess on full display, Melat takes listeners on a raw, cathartic journey from quiet suffering to powerful liberation, proving that sometimes the most beautiful music comes from the deepest declarations of 'I've had enough.'

​Released to widespread anticipation, "Bekagn" solidifies Melat Kelemwerke’s reputation as an artist whose voice can convey the entire spectrum of human emotion. The title, meaning "It's enough" or "I am done," is the emotional core of the song. Unlike soft laments, "Bekagn" carries a weight of finality—a hard-won resolution to walk away from a draining relationship.

​The track is an intricate blend of modern and traditional instrumentation. A sorrowful yet strong kirar (traditional Ethiopian lyre) melody weaves through the arrangement, contrasting with contemporary drum patterns that underscore the urgency of her decision.

Lyrically, Melat paints a vivid picture of a love that has expired, detailing the moment of clarity when enough abuse or indifference finally becomes "Bekagn." She sings with a passion that transcends language, making the universal experience of moving on feel deeply personal.

​The official music video is equally compelling. It features stark, minimalist scenes that allow Melat’s emotional performance to take center stage, eschewing complicated narratives for an intense focus on her facial expressions and commanding presence. Critics are praising the video's simplicity, noting that it perfectly captures the track's theme: a singular, unwavering decision to choose self-respect over lingering pain.

​Melat Kelemwerke continues to be one of the most exciting forces in Ethiopian music, following the success of earlier hits like "Zero" and "Nuro." With "Bekagn," she doesn't just deliver another hit—she delivers an anthem of empowerment that is set to soundtrack countless personal breakthroughs this year.
