Nigerian artist FOLA, who has gained a lot of traction with his debut album, has included “how many?” among the new recordings on his 9 album, which is scheduled for release in 2026.
The song is part of a body of work the artist has said is built around personal experiences and the thought process that went into its artistic development. In the past his songwriting has resonated with listeners through the use of common phrases, romantic themes and circumstances based on his personal connections.
FOLA’s music is built on a foundation of Afrobeats and modern R&B, with Yoruba phrases often informing his vocal writing. The mix was made even more recognizable by prior releases that introduced his sound to a wider Nigerian audience.
His move from the What a Feeling EP to the commercial success of Catharsis shows his ability to keep listeners’ attention for longer projects. Now he’s got another shot at that consistency with his second album, while his audience keeps growing.
The single is now streaming on all major digital platforms. Listen and tell us what you think of it below.
