It has been a busy week for Afrobeats fans, with two major collaborations dominating playlists as FOLA, Ayra Starr, Wizkid, Frenna and Odeal deliver fresh music for the summer.
Leading the releases is fast-rising Nigerian singer FOLA, who surprised fans by unveiling “Treat U Right,” a smooth Afro-R&B track featuring Grammy-nominated star Ayra Starr. Produced by Shally The Champion, the romantic single marks the beginning of the rollout for FOLA’s upcoming sophomore project.
The collaboration blends soulful melodies with Afrobeats, while the pair’s intimate cover art and jewelry-themed promotion quickly generated buzz across social media. Many fans have praised the chemistry between the two artists, calling the song an instant playlist favorite.
Meanwhile, Wizkid is keeping his hot streak alive with another international collaboration, appearing alongside Dutch rapper Frenna and London-based singer Odeal on “Coca Body.” The upbeat, 2-minute-30-second track combines Afrobeats, hip-hop and R&B influences, with Wizkid’s melodic verse quickly becoming one of the song’s standout moments. According to Frenna, Wizkid agreed to join the record after hearing an early version featuring Odeal.
Released on Thursday night, Coca Body has already made an impressive start, landing on Spotify’s New Music Friday playlist and climbing to the top of the platform’s Dutch La Vida Loca & Vibes chart. Fans have described it as another summer anthem, further reinforcing Wizkid’s reputation as one of Afrobeats’ most sought-after collaborators.
With FOLA launching a new era alongside Ayra Starr and Wizkid continuing his run of global collaborations, the latest releases have given Afrobeats listeners plenty of fresh music to enjoy heading into the weekend.
