Seyi Vibez is always on the go. Since seizing the metaphorical “Chance” that he earnestly demanded on his breakout single a couple of years ago, he’s been on an impressive creative streak, constantly tinkering and stretching the boundaries of Street-Pop’s traditional soundscape to produce some of the most innovative and critically acclaimed music of his career and, indeed, the wider Afropop sphere. 

Following the recent release of ‘FUJI MOTO,’ his ambitious but polarising seventh LP, the singer seems to be decisively shifting gears once again. That album, a curious and at times confounding experiment that notably tried to bridge Japanese imagery with Afropop influences, was undeniably innovative in its approach but struggled to find a consistent groove or thematic core. The arrival of his latest single, “My Healer,” feels like an attempt at course correction as he looks to set the tone for 2026. 

Produced by Tudor Monroe and AOD, two producers who also contributed to his latest album, the NSNV head honcho is in his romantic bag here, reminiscing about a love interest whom he last saw when he was 22. He pairs his more soulful, evocative sensibilities with the duo’s fast-paced percussion, yielding a more compelling outcome than similar, less successful attempts on ‘FUJI MOTO.’ 

The song’s tone is initially set by some euphonic bells, which remain an inviting backdrop across the single, and a complementary, although sometimes comical, opening Omah Lay verse, where he’s bemused by the lack of knowledge regarding his preference for sugar in tea, and like many of his peers, strongly warns that he does not play with his money. It’s mostly off-topic, but it works just fine thanks to the Grammy nominee’s strong delivery and the innate charisma he injects into every line. 

For Seyi Vibez, “My Healer” represents a step in the right direction. While some of his more cluttered, recent releases have suffered from a lack of cohesion or clear, thematic direction, this new single feels like a welcome return to the distinctive melodic and songwriting approach that his audience has come to cherish. It’s a strong start to what could be another memorable year for the Professor.
