The EP is produced by her longtime collaborator Killertunes. It draws on Solana’s cultural roots, personal experiences and musical influences, and is intended as a fuller introduction to her artistic identity.
Speaking about the title, Solana said the EP is an invitation into her world. It reflects her upbringing, her surroundings and the Western Nigerian culture that shaped her.
The tracklist comprises:
- “Faaji”
- “Get the Money”
- “Okunkun” featuring Killertunes
- “Little Birdie”
- “O Rí Mi”
- “Don’t Want”
- “Dide”
The EP follows her single “Okunkun,” which drew attention ahead of the release and adds to Solana’s profile as an emerging voice in Nigerian music.
