Nigerian Afrobeats sensation Omah Lay has boldly asserted that his forthcoming sophomore album, Clarity of Mind, will stand among the greatest in Afrobeat history. Scheduled for release on May 20, 2025, the album promises to showcase a profound evolution in his musical and personal journey.
In an exclusive interview, Omah Lay shared that the album is deeply personal, reflecting his experiences with betrayal and the subsequent healing process. He expressed, “Healing & moving on. My mind is my worst nightmare, I’m now learning my way around it,” emphasizing the introspective nature of the project.
The album's lead single, "Moving," released in August 2024, marked a departure from his signature "sad-fro" sound, embracing a more uplifting and refined musical direction. This shift hints at a record that will merge soulful melodies, infectious Afrobeats rhythms, and raw storytelling—a combination that has made Omah Lay a standout voice in the global music scene.
Despite facing challenges during the album's production, including an alleged intellectual property dispute, Omah Lay remains confident in the project's potential. He stated, “I had to go back and remake my album which is actually going to be the greatest album of all time in Afrobeats history…”
With anticipation building among fans and industry insiders, Clarity of Mind is poised to be a defining moment in Omah Lay's career, reflecting his journey towards healing and self-discovery
