Yemi Alade joins forces with FAVE on their poignant new single, Worry, a soul-stirring ode to devotion and the anticipation of love. Released via Effyzzie Music Group, this evocative 3:12 track intertwines Yemi Alade’s rich, emotive alto with FAVE’s silky, eargasmic tones, making a narrative of steadfast loyalty amid uncertainty. Worry emerges as a heartfelt addition to Yemi Alade’s illustrious catalog, following her 2025 singles Mbali and My Padi, while FAVE spotlights maturing artistry in the Afrobeats sphere.
Worry unfolds as a tender exploration of waiting for a lover’s return, where the act of holding him down becomes both a vow and a quiet torment, wrapped in layers of Afro-soul grooves and subtle percussive pulses. The lyrics paint vivid scenes of patient endurance, sleepless nights, whispered promises, and the fierce grip of love that refuses to waver despite distance or doubt, delivered with a vulnerability that feels achingly universal. Yemi Alade’s commanding verses ground the track in seasoned resilience, while FAVE adds a layer of youthful longing, their voices harmonizing to evoke the push-pull of commitment in a world that tests it relentlessly. This collaboration highlights their complementary strengths and infuses Afrobeats with a more contemplative edge, blending traditional highlife echoes with contemporary R&B flourishes for an immersive emotional journey.
Worry immerses listeners in its rhythms of devotion, bridging Yemi Alade’s veteran status with FAVE’s fresh promise. With potential for cross-continental radio rotation and festival features ahead, the single reaffirms Afrobeats power to hold space for love’s unyielding truths.
