Since he stepped into the limelight, 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. “” (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. “” (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. “” 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.

7. “” feat. Ayra Starr (2026)

Here, we have one of the most distinct voices in Afropop. “treat u right” pairs FOLA with Ayra Starr for a romantic pop song. They float over a sun-drenched production, as they sing sweet exchanges centered on unconditional affection and royal treatment.

6. “” (2025)

This is a laid-back Afro-fusion jam, stacked with percussion and smooth synth lines. FOLA glides across the beat with cool composure, singing a deserving tribute to  the magnetic beauty of his lover.

5. “” (2025)

His catharsis album is introspective and of its tracks, “caricature” is one of the best showcases of FOLA’s lyrical perspective and knack for storytelling. Over percussion and subtle synth work, he explores themes of authenticity and superficiality.

4. “” feat. Davido (2026)

Building on their chemistry from earlier collaborations, FOLA and Davido make a moody, jet-setting late-night song. The track captures the thrill of international nightlife while involved in romance in the early morning hours.

3. “” feat. Kizz Daniel (2025)

FOLA and Kizz Daniel sing about being completely swept off one’s feet. The chemistry between them is effortless. FOLA comes with his silky vocals and Kizz Daniel brings the harmonies that creates a mid-tempo song that turns romantic disorientation into a sweet listening experience.

2. “” (2025)

Living up to its name, “healer” is a therapeutic balm within FOLA’s catalogue. He uses a smoothing acoustic sound to explore love as a remedy for emotional scars. This song also has one of his most comforting and soulful performances to date.

1. “” (2025)

“you” is a blend of Afropop and R&B that wears its heart on its sleeve. FOLA gives a buttery, longing vocal performance about devotion and constant yearning, turning romantic obsession into a breezy groove that’s perfect for late nights.
