Folarin “FOLA” Odunlami is back with a heavy new collaborative anthem, “It’s Over” tapping industry forces Bella Shmurda and Zlatan to round out the track. Following a massive run that saw his smash hit “Paparazzi” climb to No. 1 on the Nigerian charts and the release of his introspective project Catharsis, the Dangbana Republik talent is proving why he’s one of the most exciting new voices bridging Afro-R&B and street-pop.
Why “It’s Over” Works
-
The Backstory: This isn’t just a random feature lineup. Bella Shmurda is famously credited with discovering FOLA and bringing him into the Dangbana Republik fold, giving their chemistry genuine emotional weight.
-
The Sound: FOLA anchors the record with his signature vulnerable melodies, mapping out themes of rising above past doubts, cutting off fake energy, and finally moving forward.
-
The Balance: While FOLA keeps the emotional core smooth and reflective, Zlatan rolls through with an unmissable street-pop edge. His verse injects a sharp, resilient bounce that stops the track from sinking into pure heartbreak.
