The Afrobeats landscape is bracing for a seismic shift as two of Nigeria’s most distinct and influential voices, Omah Lay and Seyi Vibez, officially confirm their first-ever collaboration. The highly anticipated track, titled “My Healer,” is slated to arrive this Wednesday, January 21, 2026.
Omah Lay’s Return to the Spotlight
For Omah Lay, “My Healer” represents a long-awaited return to center stage. Following the massive success of his 2023 Boy Alone deluxe edition, the Port Harcourt-born singer-songwriter maintained a low profile throughout 2025.
Aside from a few select features—most notably on Davido’s hit “With You”—Lay has largely stayed out of the release cycle, leaving his audience eager for the next evolution of his signature “purple” soul.
Seyi Vibez: The Independent Era
Seyi Vibez enters 2026 as a newly independent powerhouse. Following his high-profile departure from Dapper Music in late 2024, the “Chance (Na Ham)” singer has rebranded under his own Vibez Inc. banner. “My Healer” marks his first major statement as an independent artist since leaving the label that helped launch his mainstream career.
A Therapeutic Sonic Fusion
The collaboration promises an intriguing blend of styles:
- The Sound: Early reports suggest a mid-tempo, “therapeutic” groove that bridges Omah Lay’s melancholic Afro-fusion with Seyi Vibez’s raw, rhythmic energy.
- The Lyrics: The track combines Lay’s introspection with Seyi’s signature spiritual chants and high-octane percussion.
Industry Expectations
As the first blockbuster Nigerian pairing of 2026, analysts expect “My Healer” to make a high debut on the Billboard U.S. Afrobeats Songs chart. The track will be available on all major streaming platforms this Wednesday.
Key Details:
- Song Title: My Healer
- Release Date: Wednesday, January 21, 2026
