Omah Lay lays claim to Afrobeats’ leadership

Nigerian singer, Stanley Omah Didia, popularly known as Omah Lay, has said he is going to be one of the leaders of the new generation of Afrobeats artists.

The ‘Soso’ crooner said he has created a “new sound” which he hopes to popularise this year.

Speaking in a recent interview with The Beat FM, London, United Kingdom, Omah Lay said his latest single, ‘Holy Ghost’, epitomises the sound innovation he is introducing to Afrobeats.

He said, “I have started a new sound. I feel like the sound people identify as Afrobeats is going to change in 2024/2025, in the future. And I’m going to be one of the leaders of the new sound.

“I have started a new sound of Afrobeats and you’re going to hear more of that in 2024. ‘Holy Ghost’ is one of them. And I’m putting out an album. The album is going to consist of all of these new vibes.”
