Yemi Alade keeps her catalogue growing with a fresh Afro-pop number titled “Owa,” a record built for movement. It lands as the seventh song on her new album, “It’s Yemi Alade,” put out through Effyzzie Music Group. The project arrives on 11 September 2026.
She rides the beat with real control here. Her voice stretches and settles instead of forcing every line. Because the production stays light and bouncy, the percussion pushes tempo while she plays with melody on top.
Her range has never been narrow. Across five studio albums and two EPs, she has moved through Afro-pop, Afrobeats and amapiano, from King of Queens to Rebel Queen and Mamapiano. She signed with Effyzzie Music Group in 2012 and has stayed consistent since.
“Owa” leans on energy more than message, and that suits a certain mood. It fits a Friday night, a long drive, or any room where people just want to move. Yet it never feels rushed or overworked.
Stream “Owa” and tell us if it earned a spot on your playlist today.
