Nigerian singer FOLA has launched the rollout for his sophomore album with the release of Treat U Right, a smooth blend of R&B and Afrobeats featuring Grammy nominated star Ayra Starr.
Produced by Shally The Champion, the new record explores themes of romance and devotion through melodic vocals and polished production.
The collaboration marks another link up between the two artists after FOLA recently supported Ayra Starr on her single Tornado.
FOLA, who gained attention with songs such as Ginger Me and his 2024 EP What a Feeling, continues to build momentum with the latest release. This time, he teams up with one of Afrobeats’ biggest stars to deliver a track designed for both playlists and radio rotation.
The single also arrived with striking promotional visuals. The jewelry inspired campaign and cover art, which depicts the pair in an intimate pose, quickly sparked conversations across social media.
Many fans welcomed the collaboration and praised its sleek aesthetic, while others debated the chemistry between the artists and questioned the timing of the release amid anticipation surrounding Ayra Starr’s upcoming projects.
Nevertheless, Treat U Right has generated significant buzz online and positions FOLA strongly as he enters the next chapter of his career. With Ayra Starr’s star power and FOLA’s growing catalogue, the song adds another notable collaboration to Nigeria’s thriving music scene.
As excitement builds around his sophomore album, Treat U Right offers listeners an early glimpse into the sound and direction FOLA intends to explore in his next body of work.
