OMAH LAY EXPANDS VISUAL WORLD WITH MUSIC VIDEO FOR “ARTIFICIAL HAPPINESS”
Piecing together an immersive vision to accompany his musical masterpiece, GRAMMY®-nominated Afro-fusion star OMAH LAY serves up a brand new music video for his single “ARTIFICIAL HAPPINESS” out now via Sire Records / Warner Records. The track appears on his universally praised 2026 LP, CLARITY OF MIND, out now.
OMAH LAY’s creative direction worked in tandem with trusted collaborator and director NWSPK. In the video, he awakens in an abandoned warehouse unexpectedly adorned with a white tree in its center. Mysterious figures rush towards the tree at full speed, congregating in a jarring harmony of their own. Momentum builds, action unfolds, and OMAH levitates across the space welcomed into the fray of this cryptic cohort.
Since releasing in the spring, this body of work has resonated with both listeners and tastemakers alike. Thus far, the record has reeled in over half-a-billion total streams. Upon release, it crashed the Billboard Top World Albums Chart at #8, registering his first Top 10 debut in the United States.
Arriving on the heels of his breakthrough GRAMMY® nomination alongside Davido for “With You,” CLARITY OF MIND takes flight as OMAH LAY’s first full-length release since Boy Alone (2022), signaling both a sonic expansion and a personal rebirth.
Across the project, OMAH continues to push sonic boundaries. At the center of the album is the focus track “I AM,” a hypnotic, mantra-like affirmation that blurs the line between confidence and inner chaos. The electro-tinged standout “JULIA” pairs pulsing production with emotional isolation, turning a night out into a moment of quiet loneliness, while “CANADA BREEZE” leans into elevated, almost out-of-body energy— blending spirituality, success, and detachment into a hazy, high-frequency anthem of growth and self-realization.
CLARITY OF MIND expands on the emotional depth that has defined OMAH LAY’s rise while embracing new textures, themes, and contradictions. From the seductive detachment of “DON’T LOVE ME” to the spiritual tension of fan-favorite “HOLY GHOST” and the global resonance of “WAIST,” the album navigates desire, faith, isolation, and self-discovery with striking honesty.
With nearly three billion global streams and a track record of genre-defining hits, OMAH LAY continues to cement himself as one of the most compelling and progressive voices of his generation—one unafraid to explore the complexities of being human in real time.
