Nigerian pop artist Omah Lay returns with his new hit song “Free My Mind” on KeyQaad Records.
The single slots nicely next to Omah Lay’s growing collection of genre-blurring pop gems, which draw on Afrobeats, classic rap, sensual R&B, and more.
If the comfort of a late-night dance could be a song, it’d sound like “Free My Mind.” Omah Lay sings in a buttery, conversational style, joined by a glowing saxophone that punctuates each verse.
The less than three-minute feel-good track started with Omah Lay paying homage to Wizkid’s open lines in ‘Baba Nla’, the Grammy-winner 2018 hit single.

“Free my mind, free my mind with shayo,” he belts. His verses flip between languages but feel born from the same effortless substance. All the components make for an intoxicating listen, the kind of song you might throw on at the club or get lost inside on a long lonely night.
Omah Lay has already had a busy 2021. “Free My Mind” comes after his sold-out US tour and smash “Understand,” a contemplative, yet danceable record powered by his signature vocal warmth.
