FOLA and Ayra Starr pair up for ‘treat u right’

Rising Afrobeats star FOLA has dropped a sultry new collaboration with Mavin Records’ golden girl Ayra Starr, and “treat u right” is already setting the tone for the season. The mid-tempo romance anthem, released through Dangbana Republik and EMPIRE, showcases two of Afrobeats’ most promising voices vibing effortlessly over hypnotic production that lets their chemistry breathe.

Producer Shallythechampion crafted a sleek, minimalist soundscape that’s all about restraint and groove. With final touches from Johnny Drille, the track relies on deep, rolling basslines and crisp percussion rather than cluttered layers, creating the perfect late-night mood. FOLA opens with an instantly catchy bilingual hook—“Mo like bo ṣe move diẹ diẹ, ah eh”—that sets the vibe before Ayra Starr glides in with her signature sultry delivery. Together, they navigate the push and pull of modern attraction with playful confidence, promising to give each other exactly what they deserve.

What makes “treat u right” work so well is how organic it feels. There’s no forced star power here—just two artists genuinely complementing each other’s energy through effortless call-and-response dynamics. FOLA proves he can share the spotlight with one of the continent’s biggest exports, while Ayra adds another stellar collaboration to her already impressive catalog. This isn’t just another duet; it’s a masterclass in understated Afrobeats chemistry.
