FOLA and Kizz Daniel Join Forces on Emotionally Charged Afro-Fusion Anthem “Lost”
Rising Nigerian talent FOLA has linked up with Afrobeats heavyweight Kizz Daniel for “Lost,” a poignant new single that’s already making waves across streaming platforms and social media. Released via Dangbana Republik and Flyboy I.N.C.,
the track marks FOLA’s first release of 2025 and serves as the lead single for his forthcoming project, due later this year.
Following high-profile appearances on Bella Shmurda’s Dangbana Riddim and Zlatan’s Get Better, FOLA continues his ascent in the street-pop and Afro-fusion scenes. His gritty, emotionally charged vocals bring a raw authenticity to “Lost,” while Kizz Daniel—fresh off recent hits like Twe Twe and Police (with Angélique Kidjo and Johnny Drille)—delivers his signature smoothness, creating a powerful contrast that drives the song’s emotional core.
Produced by SBthaproducer (SB), “Lost” blends the rhythmic intensity of street-pop with the melodic soul of Afrobeats. The result is a genre-blurring anthem that explores themes of heartbreak, disillusionment, and emotional vulnerability. Lyrics like “Olo mi jo, shanu mi jo, malo damu mi jo, 'cause I’m really lost, I’ve seen it all” evoke a sense of inner turmoil, while lines such as “Kowa comfort mi, le mo body mi, ko yo burden mi ah, I know you got eyes on money mi” hint at deeper struggles with trust and self-worth.
SB’s production enhances the track’s sentiment with layered instrumentation—percussive drums, moody synths, and soulful melodies—that elevate its resonance. The song’s infectious hook has already gone viral on TikTok, with fans sharing heartfelt interpretations and dance challenges, signaling its mainstream crossover appeal.
Before its official release, FOLA hosted a private listening session attended by none other than Wizkid, who was seen vibing to the track—an unofficial stamp of approval that has only heightened anticipation around the young artist’s next moves.
First catching attention with his 2024 breakout single Alone featuring Bhadboi OML (and its remix with BNXN), FOLA is quickly carving a path as one of Nigeria’s most promising new voices. “Lost” feels like a pivotal moment—one that positions him not just as a feature-ready artist, but as a compelling force in his own right.
Meanwhile, Kizz Daniel continues to reinforce his legacy as one of Afrobeats’ most consistent and versatile hitmakers. His collaboration with FOLA adds another layer to his ever-evolving catalogue, proving his knack for spotlighting emerging talent while staying true to his artistic roots.
With its heartfelt lyrics, genre-blending sound, and undeniable chemistry between two generations of Nigerian music, “Lost” stands as both a personal statement from FOLA and a cultural moment that bridges street and mainstream sounds.
THANKS FOR YOUR TIME!!!
