Release date of Seyi Vibez and Omah Lay's new song confirmed

Omah Lay & Seyi Vibez Confirm Release Date for First-Ever Collaboration “My Healer”

The official release date for one of the most anticipated Afrobeats collaborations of 2026 has been confirmed, and fans are counting down. Omah Lay and Seyi Vibez, two of Nigeria’s most influential and stylistically distinct artists, have announced the release of their debut joint single titled “My Healer.”

The track is set to arrive this Wednesday, January 21, marking a major cultural moment and signaling fresh creative chapters for both stars.

A Long-Awaited Return for Omah Lay

For Omah Lay, My Healer represents a powerful re-entry into the spotlight. After the global success of his 2023 Boy Alone (Deluxe) project, the Port Harcourt–born singer adopted a notably quiet approach throughout 2025.

Aside from a handful of standout features, most notably on Davido’s Spotify-topping hit “With You,” Lay stepped back from the usual release cycle. The pause only heightened anticipation for the next evolution of his signature emotionally rich, “purple” Afro-fusion sound.

Seyi Vibez Steps Into a New Era

Seyi Vibez enters 2026 on entirely new terms. The “Chance (Na Ham)” hitmaker made headlines in late 2024 following his highly publicized exit from Dapper Music. After wiping his social media pages and reintroducing himself as an independent artist under the Vibez Inc. banner, My Healer stands as his first major release since the transition.

The record is widely viewed as a defining statement, signaling both creative freedom and renewed intent from one of street-pop’s most dominant voices.

A Promising Sonic Fusion

The collaboration is expected to deliver a compelling blend of styles. Omah Lay’s introspective, melancholic Afro-fusion meets Seyi Vibez’s raw street-pop energy, often characterized by spiritual undertones, chant-inspired melodies, and pulsating percussion.

Early reports describe My Healer as a mid-tempo, therapeutic groove that lives up to its title, seamlessly bridging vulnerability and resilience.

Industry Buzz and Chart Expectations

As the first major Nigerian superstar pairing of 2026, industry watchers are already predicting a strong debut, with projections pointing toward a high entry on the Billboard U.S. Afrobeats Songs chart.

My Healer will be available on all major streaming platforms this Wednesday, setting the tone for what promises to be a landmark year in Afrobeats.
