Omah Lay has marked his first solo release of the year with Waist, following his collaborations on Davido’s With You and Ciza’s Isaka II (6am) with Tems. The track serves as a tantalizing preview of his eagerly anticipated album, Clarity of Mind, which is expected to be released soon. The two-minute track continues Omah Lay’s exploration of Afrobeats, reinforcing his ability to produce infectious melodies that can resonate with anyone anywhere in the world.

The song is a playful, vibey Afro-fusion track centered on temptation, desire, and the chaos a woman’s attractive figure brings into his life, with lyrics that blend humour and confession. The production incorporates Omah Lay’s signature use of minimalist beats and melodic hooks, creating a sound that feels intimate and club-ready. His distinct vocal style and rhythmic arrangements shine through in this new offering, demonstrating why he remains one of the most sought-after performers in the African music space.

The track’s brevity aligns with Omah Lay’s tendency to deliver concise, impactful songs that leave listeners wanting more. This release demonstrates his consistent output and dedication to evolving his sound while staying true to his roots, further cementing his position as a key figure in the export of modern African music to the world.
