Nigerian singer and songwriter Omah Lay has unveiled his sophomore project, Clarity of Mind, a 12-track album now available on all major streaming platforms.
Released in the early hours of Friday, the body of work features songs such as Artificial Happiness, Jah Jah Knows, Canada Breeze, Water Spirit, Don’t Love Me, Coping Mechanism, and Julia. Other tracks on the album include Waist, Mary Go Round, I Am, Holy Ghost, and Amen.
Omah Lay began his career at a young age as a producer before breaking into the mainstream in 2020 with hit songs like You and Bad Influence. He followed up with his debut album Boy Alone in 2022, which helped cement his reputation for emotional storytelling and a distinct Afro-fusion sound.
Over the years, the artiste has built a global following with his unique style. He also earned a nomination at the 2026 Grammys in the ‘Best African Music Performance’ category for his collaboration with Davido on With You, although the award eventually went to Tyla.
Alongside the album release, Omah Lay has continued to draw attention for his bold comments about his place in the music industry, claiming he stands out among his peers over the past two decades.
