November 14, 2025 (Lagos, Nigeria) — Global Afro-Fusion sensation Omah Lay returns with his hypnotic new single “Waist,” marking a bold new chapter in his creative journey and setting the stage for his highly anticipated sophomore album, Clarity of Mind, arriving early 2026. Listen HERE via KeyQaad.

Coming off his first-ever GRAMMY® nomination alongside Davido for “With You,” Omah radiates focus and freedom on “Waist.” Built around enchanting guitars, deep bass, and lush percussion, the feel-good track dives into the push-and-pull between earthly temptation and spiritual balance — a theme that mirrors his own evolution as an artist and man finding purpose amid global fame.

The single arrives as Omah’s first solo release since 2024’s “Moving,” a fan-favorite that earned praise from The New York Times and a remix from Haitian DJ Francis Mercier. Since then, he’s spent the past year performing around the world, collecting experiences, energy, and stories that now flow through Clarity of Mind.

A borderless force in global music, Omah continues to expand his sonic universe through high-profile collaborations with Tems (“Isaka II (6am)”), Myke Towers (“No Hay Break”), SPINALL & Tyla (“One Call”), and Kehlani (“Tears”), while his celebrated Boy Alone (Deluxe) featured Ozuna on the remix of his viral hit “soso,” now surpassing 580 million global streams.

With “Waist,” Omah Lay channels the introspective depth and melodic mastery that have made him one of Africa’s most compelling new-generation storytellers — and offers an early glimpse into the sound and spirit of his forthcoming opus, Clarity of Mind.
As Billboard aptly noted, “Omah Lay divulges his deepest vices, insecurities, and stressors with beautifully melodic vulnerability.” With a GRAMMY® nod under his belt and a transformational new era ahead, the world is about to witness Omah Lay’s full evolution.
