Omah Lay Brings Raw Emotion to Clean Bandit and Chlöe’s ‘Company’
Nigerian singer and songwriter Omah Lay has teamed up with British group Clean Bandit and American singer Chlöe on their new single, “Company.” Released on September 18, 2026, the song touches on loneliness, desire and the need for human connection, combining Clean Bandit’s electronic-pop sound with Chlöe’s R&B vocals and Omah Lay’s Afro-fusion style.
Omah Lay joins Chlöe on vocals, with Clean Bandit members Jack Patterson and Grace Chatto among the song’s contributors. “Company” centres on the desire to have someone around when being alone becomes difficult. Rather than focusing on money or material things, the song presents closeness and affection as what really matters.
Chlöe said she connected with the song when Clean Bandit first played it for her. According to the singer, its message reflects the feeling of wanting someone’s presence instead of being alone.

The collaboration had been in the works for several years. Omah Lay first met Clean Bandit members Jack Patterson and Grace Chatto in 2022, when they worked on music at Patterson’s home. Chatto later said the group had spent about five years working with Nigerian artists and producers and had recorded several songs with Omah Lay before “Company” was completed.
The single also comes with a music video directed by Chatto and Patterson, with Patterson handling the editing. Filmed at a former state hospital site near Los Angeles, the video uses the location to reflect the song’s themes of isolation and connection. The dance sequences were created by choreographer, director and performance artist MaggZ.
Omah Lay said he liked the decision by Clean Bandit to direct the video themselves. For the British group, “Company” also marks the next phase of their music under their independent label, CB X. The song is expected to feature on Clean Bandit’s upcoming studio album, scheduled for 2027. It follows the label’s first release, ‘I Don’t Wanna Hurt You,’ a June collaboration with Biig Piig.
The release adds another international collaboration to Omah Lay’s catalogue, while giving Clean Bandit and Chlöe a chance to bring their different musical styles together.

Rema Tackles Mixed Signals and Desire on New Single “Oh No”
Rema has released a new single, “Oh No,” a relationship-focused song about attraction, uncertainty and trying to understand where someone stands. The track was released on September 11, 2026, marking another solo release for the Nigerian singer.
On the song, Rema sings about a woman he remains attracted to even though he is unsure about her feelings and recent changes in behaviour. He wants her to stay close while questioning what may have changed between them and the influence of people around her.
The song also touches on how communication can become complicated in relationships. References to social media, late-night thoughts and shifts in behaviour add to Rema’s doubts about the woman’s intentions. His playful and flirtatious delivery keeps the subject from becoming overly serious.

Jamaican producer Rvssian and London produced “Oh No,” reuniting Rvssian with Rema several years after their earlier collaboration, “Beamer (Bad Boys).” The new track combines Afropop and Caribbean sounds, drawing from dancehall, reggaeton and kompa-inspired rhythms.
Rvssian gives the song a dance-focused feel rather than a slow arrangement. Rema matches the pace with a melodic delivery and a recurring hook centred on his attraction to the woman.
The lyrics make it clear that Rema wants both physical and emotional closeness. He asks the woman to stay even as he struggles to understand the changes he sees in her. That uncertainty runs through the song without being resolved.

Directed by Benji Allen, the video was shot on the streets of Los Angeles and features colourful brick background and intimate moments, including Rema shopping flowers for his love interest.
“Oh No” follows Rema’s August single, “TEA,” his first solo release of 2026.
With its lyrics and dance-driven production, “Oh No” presents romantic confusion through a mix of Afropop and Caribbean influences, bringing Rema and Rvssian together again.

What Exactly Are Ayra Starr and ZAYN Singing About on “Heaven Baby”?
Ayra Starr and ZAYN take a softer musical direction on “Heaven Baby“, a romantic collaboration about the rush of falling deeply for someone and seeing that person as unusually special and attractive.
Released on August 14, 2026, the song appears as the 14th track on Ayra Starr’s third studio album, Starrgirl. Recent coverage describes the record as a piano-led pop and R&B ballad built around the voices of both singers.

The song opens with Ayra Starr describing the immediate chemistry she feels towards the person she is addressing. Her lyrics suggest that the attraction does not remain at the level of a passing crush. Her feelings deepen as she begins to describe how much the person means to her and how difficult their absence would be.
The chorus takes that feeling further through references to heaven and angels. Ayra uses the imagery to express how highly she regards the person she is singing about.
Her lyrics also touch on the fear of losing that person, showing how quickly the attraction has grown into something deeper.
ZAYN’s verses focuses on how far he is willing to go for the person he loves, including the sacrifices he would make for the relationship. His willingness to do so reflects the song’s theme of intense devotion.

When their vocals meet again, the song feels like an exchange between two people who are equally invested. Ayra establishes the emotional intensity early, while ZAYN‘s section gives the record another voice within the same relationship.
Ayra Starr has also spoken positively about the record. During an appearance connected to the promotion of Starrgirl, she called “Heaven Baby” one of the best songs she had ever sung. She also praised ZAYN’s voice, describing it as both strong and vulnerable.
Unlike a song built around heartbreak, betrayal or a complicated romantic storyline, “Heaven Baby” stays with the early intensity of love. Its focus is the feeling of meeting someone who quickly becomes important and expressing that attachment without holding back.
