Tọlaní Is Back With a Bold, Unfinished Soundtrack to Her Story

Nigerian R&B and Afro-Pop artist Tolani is back, and she’s switching things up. After taking some time to reflect and recharge, she’s launching a raw and refreshingly honest new music series called ‘SH*T I NVR FINISHED’ – dropping one deeply personal track every seven days for 8 weeks – all on SoundCloud and her socials. 

Timed to coincide with Mental Health Awareness Month, this series is more than just music—it’s a creative deep dive into vulnerability, growth, and the messy magic of being a work in progress. Each song feels like a page torn from Tolani’s diary, inviting fans to experience the moments she never quite let go of. 

‘SH*T I NVR FINISHED’ is bold, intimate, and a little bit unfinished. Just like all of us, and that’s exactly the point. Tolani describes the series as “a challenge to my own reserved nature but also a love song to all the creatives I’ve worked with who’ve never had their art take flight.” In her announcement video, Tolani shares that the series is also a thank-you, a heartfelt gesture, to the people who’ve held her down. “My family, friends, managers… the people that believed in me more than I believed in myself sometimes.” At the heart of it all is her belief that “art is art because it is seen & heard”. With this project, she’s turning vulnerability into connection and turning unfinished work into meaningful moments with her fans. 

Each snippet of the series is a sonic time capsule, taken from Tolani’s vault of unfinished material. Expect lush melodies, rhythmic Afrobeat grooves, and a fusion of R&B and Pop that she delivers with her signature sultry tone. The songs balance mid-tempo moods with deep-feeling lyrics, creating space for both reflection and release. 

Tolani invites fans and media alike to join in this unprecedented musical journey, sharing feedback weekly and becoming a part of the community shaping the future of her sound.
