Eli Fola joins Mobilee with powerful 'Healing For The Youth' EP

Acclaimed Nigerian / American artist Eli Fola has released ’the powerful two-track EP ‘Healing For The Youth’ on Mobilee. This compelling project showcases two standout tracks: the title piece, a collaboration with spoken word artist Cyrus Aaron, and the vibrant instrumental Nation of Dance by Eli Fola himself.

'Healing For The Youth' is a call to empower and uplift young people, especially those in inner cities who often feel marginalized or unseen. Eli Fola, known for his unique fusion of AfroHouse, techno, jazz, and classical music, teamed up with Cyrus Aaron to craft a track that combines deep, soulful sounds with poignant spoken word. The result is a message of hope, resilience, and joy, encouraging young listeners to rise above their circumstances and embrace their power to shape their futures.

On 'Nation Of Dance', Eli Fola explores the universal language of music, creating an instrumental track that radiates positivity and unity. The pulsating basslines and melodic layers invite listeners to let go, dance freely, and celebrate the joy of collective movement. It’s a tribute to the unifying power of music and the energy that flows through dance floors across the globe.

Eli Fola’s artistic vision is deeply rooted in his rich cultural heritage and personal experiences. As the creator of the live-hybrid set Yoruba Tech Soul, he continues to push the boundaries of sound, blending AfroHouse with elements of techno, jazz, and classical music. His innovative approach has garnered the attention of icons such as Swizz Beatz and Alicia Keys and led to performances alongside major artists like Black Coffee and ASAP Rocky.

'Healing For The Youth' stands as a beacon of empowerment, while 'Nation of Dance celebrates' the freedom and joy of movement, making this release a testament to the transformative power of music.

Eli Fola said: "The title track 'Healing For The Youth' is a powerful call to uplift and empower young people who often feel marginalised and unseen. This record is deeply personal, collaborative journey with the brilliant poet and spoken word artist Cyrus Aaron, fusing music and words to offer hope and strength. On the reverse side, 'Nation of Dance' is an instrumental that transcends borders, exploring the universal language of music and its ability to unite us all in a shared rhythm.”
