Solana has unveiled her debut EP, Girl From the West, a seven-track project that offers a closer look at her musical identity and marks an important step in her growing career.
The project introduces listeners to what she calls YoruPop, a sound that brings together Yoruba cultural influences and modern musical elements. Across its seven tracks, the EP features Faaji, Get the Money, Okunkun featuring Killertunes, Little Birdie, O Rí Mi, Don’t Want and Dide.
With production handled by her longtime collaborator Killertunes, Girl From the West takes inspiration from Solana’s cultural background, life experiences, and diverse musical influences. The result is a project that gives listeners a better understanding of the artist behind the music.

For Solana, the title goes beyond simply introducing a new body of work. It reflects the environment she grew up in, the people and experiences that shaped her, and her connection to Western Nigerian culture.
Following the growing attention around her breakout single Okunkun, the new EP arrives as another opportunity for Solana to showcase her creativity and establish herself as one of the emerging voices worth watching in Nigeria’s music scene.
