Rock Me Gentle is Olamide's first single of 2026, released May 7, 2026 under YBNL Nation and EMPIRE, running just over 3 minutes. The YBNL boss returns with a track that switches between Yoruba and English, anchored by a steady, commanding flow and a closing stretch of chant-like ad-libs and gibberish vocal runs that listeners have already picked apart line by line online.
The single arrived without a feature list or production credits announced beforehand, with only the title and artwork stoking anticipation across X, Instagram and TikTok in the days before release. It follows a year that already saw Olamide anchor 99 alongside Seyi Vibez, Asake, Young Jonn and Daecolm, and continues his pattern of opening each year with a single built more on mood and delivery than guest-driven spectacle.
Rating: 7.5/10.
