UK-based Nigerian singer and songwriter, Waliyah Music is set to release her new single ‘Body’, following the success of her previous tracks like ‘It’s Time’ and ‘Detty December’.

The upcoming song promises a more dance-driven phase in her evolving sound, with its catchy chorus “Move Your Body” already gaining traction.

The new single is due  to be released before the end of the first quarter of this year.

Waliyah is known for blending Afrobeats, R&B, and pop to create a unique sound. Her music often reflects personal experiences, love, empowerment, and social consciousness. The singer’s  single,  ‘It’s Time’ marked a milestone in her  creative journey.. The song drew inspiration from classic pop records and Olympic-style anthems, reflecting themes of perseverance, unity, and forward motion. It’s the same story with

her  2024 song ‘Detty December’, which  gained traction during Nigeria’s festive season. The song has since become   a recurring nightlife and celebration anthem, resurfacing every  December across  clubs and social spaces and  reinforcing its cultural relevance.

With ‘Body’ on the horizon, Waliyah Music continues to position herself as an emerging artist to watch, who’s  steadily building a catalogue with cultural staying power.

Beyond music, Waliyah maintains an active career in strategy consulting and global advisory work, a background that informs her disciplined, intentional approach to her artistry and long-term brand building.
