Omah Lay, the Nigerian Afro‑fusion star whose vocals already echo across Africa and beyond, returns with his latest single “Waist” a breezy, high‑vibe offering that blends his signature melodic ease with fresh groove.
This track underscores his place as someone not just releasing music, but shaping moments, and it arrives poised to make waves in both party playlists.
In “Waist,” he leans into temptation, desire, and the magnetic pull of a woman’s body as he confesses how her “ikebe” (waist/curves) makes him lose focus and make “wrong decisions.” Over minimalist, sensual production, he weaves in pidgin English and spiritual exclamations even referencing the biblical Samson to dramatize how powerful that attraction is. The hook (“Carry for waist, carry for waist”) is hypnotic, making the song feel both intimate and dancefloor-ready.
“Waist” is produced by LIOHN and Pontus, who craft a smooth, minimalistic beat that perfectly complements Omah Lay’s melodic delivery. The percussion and synths provide a subtle, hypnotic groove, letting the vocals and catchy hook shine. The mix and arrangement emphasize clarity and energy, giving the track both dancefloor appeal and intimate listening charm.
