Nigerian music continues to deliver fresh sounds and visuals, and this week’s lineup brings together some of Afrobeats’ most recognisable names and rising talent. Asake, Omah Lay, FOLA and Young Jonn are among the artists with new music videos worth adding to your watch list.
From an intimate studio session to a cinematic exploration of happiness, the five videos offer different takes on love, personal growth, creativity and celebration.
Here are five new Nigerian music videos to check out this week.
1. Asake — “Oba”
Asake takes a more intimate approach to “Oba,” offering viewers a glimpse into the atmosphere of a late-night recording session rather than relying on elaborate street scenes.
Directed by Director Buise, the video features the singer alongside producers and backing vocalists as the creative process takes centre stage. Asake’s confident delivery and signature style maintain the track’s royal theme, giving the visual a connection to the song’s title.
“Oba” appears on his M$NEY album, adding another visual chapter to the project.

2. Omah Lay — “Canada Breeze”
Omah Lay leans into introspection with “Canada Breeze,” a song that explores personal growth, spirituality and the search for peace after periods of worry.
Taken from his Clarity of Mind album, the track centres on his melodic delivery and reflections on moving beyond past struggles. The accompanying music video extends that mood visually, giving the song another way to connect with listeners drawn to its more thoughtful side.
It’s a different kind of release from an artist whose music often blends emotional storytelling with contemporary Afrobeats production.

3. FOLA — “miss you ii (nriri)”
FOLA turns to matters of the heart in “miss you ii (nriri),” a release built around longing and the feeling of missing someone.
The Nigerian singer brings his melodic Afropop approach to the track, which arrives during a busy period in his career. His album 9 was released in October 2026, placing the song within a period of continued activity for the rising artist.
The release’s lyric video puts the words at the centre of the experience, allowing viewers to follow the song’s themes of longing through its lyrics.

4. Omah Lay — “Artificial Happiness”
Omah Lay switches gears with “Artificial Happiness,” the opening track on Clarity of Mind, delivering a visual that takes a more cinematic and unsettling direction.
The video begins with the singer waking up inside an abandoned warehouse, where a white tree stands at the centre of the space. Mysterious figures surrounding him add to the atmosphere, creating a visual world that reflects the song’s introspective themes.
Omah Lay and his longtime collaborator NWSPK are credited with the creative direction behind the video. The result offers a striking contrast to the reflective mood of “Canada Breeze,” showing two different sides of the same album.

While the other selections explore introspection, longing and creative process, “Glass in the Air” offers a livelier alternative for listeners looking for something built around movement and upbeat rhythms.
