Modola, the pan-African artist born Temidola Awosika, has officially launched her highly anticipated debut EP, “New Light,” promising a vibrant and genre-bending addition to the global music landscape. The six-track project, available now on all major streaming platforms, is already generating buzz for its unique sound and empowering message.
Raised in Milan with a multilingual background spanning Italian, Spanish, and French, Modola seamlessly fuses her diverse upbringing with the raw energy of Lagos. This unique blend results in a globally-inspired Afropop sound that defies easy categorization, showcasing her versatility as both an artist and a cultural bridge.
“New Light” is a confident and creative introduction to Modola’s artistry. Tracks like “Masun” (Don’t Sleep) capture the relentless hustle of Nigerian youth, while “No Stress” offers a cheeky anthem of rebellion. Her ambition takes centre stage in “Oro Owo,” and “Billing” reveals her undeniable alté swagger. The EP is rounded out by the charming and unpredictable “Talk” and “Kontrolla,” solidifying Modola’s position as a fresh and exciting voice.
“This EP is my love letter to every young woman who refuses to be boxed in,” Modola shared. “Whether it’s the grind of ‘Masun’ or the freedom of ‘No Stress’, I want my music to remind you—your light doesn’t need permission to shine.”
Modola’s “New Light” showcases her boundless vision and intellect, proving that excellence knows no borders.
