Solana is preparing to introduce her debut EP, ‘Girl From The West’, with the release of ‘O Rí Mi’, a new single that offers an insight into her expanding musical identity. The Lagos-based singer, songwriter and multidisciplinary creative is set to unveil the project on 6 November, marking a defining moment in her journey as an artist.
Driven by vibrant energy and a playful sense of expression, ‘O Rí Mi’ establishes the creative direction of the forthcoming EP. The record reflects Solana’s approach to Yoru-Pop, a sound that draws from cultural heritage while embracing contemporary influences and a willingness to experiment.
Beyond the music, Solana’s work centres on creating a distinct artistic identity that connects personal expression with a broader celebration of African culture. Her creative practice brings together sound, identity and visual expression, allowing her to explore different dimensions of her background without being confined to a single style.
‘Girl From The West’ promises to further develop these ideas, presenting a more complete picture of the influences and perspectives shaping her artistry. While ‘O Rí Mi’ serves as an introduction, it also establishes the cultural grounding and exploratory spirit underpinning the wider project.
As Solana continues to carve out her place in Lagos’ evolving music scene, her forthcoming debut signals an ambition to create work that remains connected to its roots while reaching beyond geographical and cultural boundaries.
