Veronica Adane (ቬሮኒካ አዳነ) gave fans two new songs on Thursday, November 12. She posted official videos for Nepe Hara (ኔፔ ሀራ) and Lemaleleh (ልማልልህ) on her YouTube channel, about 15 minutes apart.
The two videos could hardly be more different. One is a loud, playful dance song set in a car garage. The other is a slow song about love and trust, filmed in an old house full of soft light. By Friday morning, Nepe Hara had about 272,000 views and Lemaleleh about 185,000.
Nepe Hara Turns a Garage Into a Dance Floor
Nepe Hara opens on a red vintage sports car under a pink neon sign with the song’s name. Sparks fly from a grinder, dancers move between the work benches, and Veronica sings in a white top with her cap turned backward.
Many of the first comments came from Wolaita fans, who say the song is sung in Wolaitta, the language of the Wolaita people of southern Ethiopia. That is familiar ground for her. Her October hit with the Tanzanian star Rayvanny, Bironica, also drew on Wolaita culture.
The team behind Nepe Hara will also be familiar to Bironica fans. Gildo Kassa wrote the melody and the arrangement, and Dawit Tsegaye, known as DaDa, produced the song. Meleti Kiros wrote the lyrics, Frezer Taye did the mixing and mastering, and Bezawit Fekadu created the dance moves.
Lemaleleh Slows Everything Down
Lemaleleh goes the other way. The title means “let me swear to you,” and the song is a slow Amharic ballad about love, trust and betrayal. In the comments, many listeners wrote that it tells their own story.
In the video, Veronica walks alone through an old house with green walls and thin white curtains. Old photos lie across the floor. She looks into a mirror, sits among the pictures, and the last scenes close on fire.
Abel Mulugeta wrote the melody, and Meleti Kiros wrote the words again. Yosef Baye, who also directed the Bironica video, directed this one. DaDa produced it, and Abraham Kidane did the mixing and mastering. Veronica is the executive producer of both songs.
A Busy Season for Veronica
Thursday’s songs arrive five weeks after Bironica, which came out on October 7 and now has more than 5.3 million views. Her first album, Meteriyaye (መጠሪያዬ), came out in August 2024 with 12 songs. Before that she built her name with singles such as Tefet Alegn, Kurfya and Enaney. The Enaney video alone has passed 40 million views on the Nahom Records channel.
She is not the only big name releasing videos in batches this season. Earlier this month, Helen Berhe put out her album Yebereta as ten official videos, and Teddy Afro posted visualizers for all 11 songs of Lebo.
The two new video pages say nothing yet about a second album. For now, fans get two sides of Veronica in one day: the dancer in the garage and the singer by the window.
