Born in Nigeria and Ghana, Afrobeats has become one of the most eclectic—and exportable—sounds in contemporary music, often incorporating everything from rap and dancehall to R&B and house. In 2025, one of the more prolific voices in the space was FOLA, the Nigerian star who showed out on releases from DJ Tunez, Kizz Daniel, Bella Shmurda and Zlatan, to name a few. And then there was catharsis, a project the singer says he released with the explicit intention to heal his fanbase. “This album is like building a soul hospital, looking for something to cleanse and repair your soul,” he told Apple Music at the time of its release. “I want people to listen to these songs and let go of their worries. I want people to do more after listening to these songs.” Get your dose of catharsis on Afrobeats Hits, alongside music from Burna Boy, Tiwa Savage, Olamide and Davido, and if you hear something you like, add it to your library.
