Nigerian music’s global influence keeps expanding as Very Soon, the soulful collaboration between BNXN and rising artist FOLA, debuts at No. 9 on the Billboard U.S. Afrobeats Songs Chart this week. This achievement marks another milestone for Nigeria’s thriving music scene and showcases the powerful connection between the artists’ storytelling and listeners worldwide.
Very Soon stands out with its mellow, emotionally rich sound, blending BNXN’s smooth, soulful vocals with FOLA’s raw, introspective delivery. Together, they craft a compelling narrative centered on resilience, hope, and faith—themes that deeply resonate with fans both locally and internationally. The song’s reflective tone and heartfelt message provide a refreshing depth, offering a reprieve from the more upbeat Afrobeats tracks dominating the charts.
For BNXN, who has already gained international recognition through a string of hits and high-profile collaborations, this is yet another affirmation of his rising global presence. His ability to infuse soul and emotion into his music continues to set him apart in an increasingly competitive scene.
More notably, this marks FOLA’s first entry onto the Billboard U.S. Afrobeats Chart, signaling a significant breakthrough for the young artist. The chart debut represents an important step in his career, opening doors for wider recognition and setting the stage for future successes.
Critics and fans alike have praised Very Soon for its gospel-inspired undertones, lyrical depth, and smooth production quality. The track highlights Afrobeats’ growing versatility—not just as energetic dance music but as a genre capable of conveying meaningful stories and emotions. This evolving narrative demonstrates how Nigerian artists are redefining Afrobeats, making it a global soundtrack that appeals to the mind and soul as much as the body.
Streaming platforms and social media have played a key role in propelling the song’s popularity. The organic spread of Very Soon has helped build momentum, creating a buzz that extends beyond Nigeria’s borders. This kind of cross-cultural reach exemplifies the ongoing global ascendancy of Nigerian music.
As Very Soon continues to climb and attract new listeners, both BNXN and FOLA are positioned for greater achievements. Their collaboration not only underscores the strength of purposeful musical storytelling but also reflects the dynamic creativity fueling Nigeria’s music export boom.
In essence, Very Soon serves as a shining example of how the fusion of talent, message, and melody can break new ground, capturing hearts on an international stage and reinforcing Nigeria’s reputation as a powerhouse in global music.
