Solace (My Shawty) is a January 2026 single from Kunmie, released January 19, 2026 under CiDAR Africa and AltMusic HQ via ONErpm. It runs 3 minutes 43 seconds and follows My Brother, the record that helped establish Kunmie as one of the more interesting voices in Nigerian R&B. Where My Brother leaned into family and gratitude, Solace (My Shawty) shifts the emotional frame to romantic devotion — a woman who is the source of calm in a chaotic world.
Kunmie's strength is the restraint in his delivery. He does not oversell the emotion. The production on Solace sits in a warm, mid-tempo space that gives his vocals room to breathe, and the contrast between the vulnerability of the lyrics and the confidence of the performance is what makes the record work. He has built 298K Audiomack followers and 64.8 million total plays on the platform, strong numbers for an artist who is still in the building phase of his career. Arike, My Brother, I Admit, Majekaja — he has been consistent without a major label push, which in today's streaming landscape is its own statement.
