As one of the standout voices redefining the sound of new wave Afrobeats, FOLA returns this Friday with a new single titled “you”; a romantic, introspective track that showcases the rising star’s ability to balance deep emotion with smooth, soulful delivery.
After recording his 7th top ten entry in 10 months; from “alone”, “who does that?”, “Get better”, “Dangbana Riddim”, “lost”, “Titi”, “Very Soon” to “One Condition” with top acts like Wizkid, Kizz Daniel, BNXN, Zlatan and Bella Shmurda; and after completing his successful UK Tour in April, FOLA has proven to be one of the biggest Afrobeats stars of 2025. “you” is his heads up on what goodness to expect in his forthcoming debut album “catharsis.” The track is built on soft, minimalist percussion and warm sax melodies, creating a romantic and melodic soundscape.
While the full single drops alongside the official music video this Friday, August 8th, early listeners are already calling it one of his most intimate records yet subtle, but packed with emotion.
Stay tuned for “you” dropping on all major platforms this Friday.
