Behind the smiles and the party, what’s left when the music stops? With “Artificial Happiness”, Omah Lay opens his album “CLARITY OF MIND” (April 2026) with a track about fleeting pleasures, escapism and the emptiness we try to mask with money, confidence and the night. The official video, released October 8, 2026 and directed by Omah Lay himself, gives the song a fresh visual chapter. The Port Harcourt singer unfolds his “Afro-depression” universe: dark, sincere afro-pop, steeped in Pidgin and English, blending faith, desire and loneliness without ever pretending. Writing that is both intimate and universal, reaching anyone who has ever smiled when things weren’t okay. To watch, to feel, then to share with those who understand! \u00a9 KeyQaad \/ Sire Records.<\/p>\n

Lyrics :<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u00cdgbo is telling on me
\nI like what it\u2019s saying make I no stop
\nBefore morning the feeling will wash off
\nBut tonight we will die at the war front<\/p>\n

Money when no complete
\nIt will never ever be my portion
\nNo time for many discussions
\nThe thing long e reach her subconscious<\/p>\n

Blood of Jesus
\nNo stop<\/p>\n

\u00cdgbo is telling on me
\nE say no stop
\n\u00cdgbo is telling on me
\nE say no stop
\n\u00cdgbo is telling on me
\nE say no stop
\n\u00cdgbo is telling on me
\nBlood of Jesus<\/p>\n

I don\u2019t see anyone
\nWhen fit come close to me
\nAll of them know
\nAll of them know ah
\nNobody be my mate
\nI Dey tell you with a clean mind
\nPort harcourt Omah Lay
\nAnything when you don see
\nI don see am
\nAyayayaya<\/p>\n

One in the morning time
\nThat\u2019s how I start my day
\nAdvantage to see money clear
\nIt\u2019s either all or nothing
\nI still dey deadline ayaya
\nI never die ayaya
\nE get things when I still Dey fine
\nNirvana is one them<\/p>\n

\u00cdgbo is telling on me
\nI like what it\u2019s saying make I no stop
\nBefore morning the feeling will wash off
\nBut tonight we will die at the war front<\/p>\n

Money when no complete
\nIt will never ever be my portion
\nNo time for many discussions
\nThe thing long e reach her subconscious<\/p>\n

Blood of Jesus
\nNo stop<\/p>\n

\u00cdgbo is telling on me
\nE say no stop
\n\u00cdgbo is telling on me
\nE say no stop
