- Artist: Fola
- Runtime: 28 minutes, 11 Songs
- Genre: Afrobeats
On September 5, 2025, rising Nigerian singer-songwriter FOLA released his highly anticipated debut album Catharsis — an 11-track, genre-bending collection built around healing, hustle and intimate storytelling.
The project arrives as a confident statement from an artist who’s been steadily building a distinct voice in Afrobeats and Afro-R&B.
FOLA (stylised FOLA) has been one of Nigeria’s most talked-about new voices in recent years, carving out a niche with warm, emotive songwriting and silky melodies that sit between Afrobeats, alté and soul. Catharsis is his first full-length studio album, following early singles and the EPs that introduced his sound to a wider audience.
The album features guest spots from Victony, Kizz Daniel, Gabzy and Young Jonn, offering a mix of mainstream pull and alté credibility across the record. Catharsis was released via Dangbana Republik in partnership with EMPIRE — a sign that FOLA’s team is positioning him for both domestic and international reach.
Catharsis is available on major streaming platforms and digital stores; Apple Music lists the album and its pre-release singles (and it’s been added to regional Afrobeats playlists). Look on Spotify, Apple Music, Shazam and other streaming services for the full project.
