    Written By:

    Since he stepped into the limelight, singer FOLA has made room for himself in Afrobeats. He does it by laying his unguarded emotions over smooth, slow-burning rhythms.

    On acclaimed projects like what a feeling, Catharsis and 9, he turns introspective experiences and romantic confessions into melodies that pull you in, sometimes bringing along high-profile collaborators. I made a list of his ten essential tracks.

    10. “bye bye” (2024)

    This song is from FOLA’s what a feeling EP. Over a warm, mid-tempo backdrop, he balances vulnerability, offering a supportive shoulder while navigating the bittersweet push-and-pull of romantic farewells, with a catchy bounce.

    9. “attention!” (2026)

    Before FOLA released his sophomore album, 9, he led with singles like this song, “attention!” It flips FOLA’s tender style a bit into uptempo, street-ready song. Driven by hypnotic drum patterns and an undeniable vocal swagger, the song demands instant focus as FOLA commandeers with charisma and catchy melodics.

    8. “alone (Remix)” feat. BNXN (2024)

    FOLA elevates this fan-favourite song adding  BNXN who brings his signature honeyed hooks into FOLA’s world of introspective solitude. Together, they turn romantic tales of unreturned messages and longing into a melancholic hit that serves both the lovers and the singles.
