By Nigerian Afrobeats artist EL Yinmi, formerly known as Wayinmi, is making a bold statement in his new artistic era with the release of two major projects in 2026.
The artist first introduced the new chapter with his 20-track album, Art of Yinmi, released in June. He followed the album with a brand-new single, “To The Moon,” released in September, giving listeners another glimpse into the creative direction behind his new identity.
ART OF YINMI: THE BEGINNING OF A NEW CHAPTER
Released in June 2026, Art of Yinmi is a 20-track album that serves as a major introduction to EL Yinmi’s artistic identity.
The project provides an extensive look into the artist’s creativity, versatility, experiences, and musical ambitions. Rather than limiting himself to a single sound, EL Yinmi uses the album to explore different moods, ideas, rhythms, and expressions while establishing the identity behind the name “Yinmi.”
For the artist, the album represents the foundation of his new era and an opportunity to give listeners a deeper understanding of his artistry.
The 20-track body of work also demonstrates EL Yinmi’s willingness to experiment and develop his sound while remaining connected to the contemporary Afrobeats movement.
“TO THE MOON”: THE JOURNEY CONTINUES
Following the release of Art of Yinmi, EL Yinmi returned in September with “To The Moon,” a new single that continues the momentum of his rebrand.
The title reflects ambition, aspiration, movement, and the desire to reach greater heights. With “To The Moon,” EL Yinmi continues to build on the foundation established by his album while presenting listeners with a fresh release for the next stage of his journey.
The single arrives just months after the release of his 20-track album, showing the artist’s commitment to maintaining a consistent connection with his audience.
TWO RELEASES, ONE ARTISTIC VISION
The release of Art of Yinmi followed by “To The Moon” represents a continuous creative story rather than two unrelated releases.
While the album introduces the world to the Art of Yinmi, the September single keeps the story moving forward.
The two projects also come at an important point in the artist’s career following his transition from Wayinmi to EL Yinmi. The rebrand marks an evolution in his public identity, while the music gives listeners an opportunity to experience that evolution through his artistry.
“Art of Yinmi introduced people to this new chapter, and ‘To The Moon’ is another step forward. I want people to understand that EL Yinmi is about growth, creativity and becoming the best version of myself through music.”
With more music and activities expected from the artist, EL Yinmi is positioning this period as the beginning of a larger journey rather than a final destination.
Fans and music lovers can stream Art of Yinmi and “To The Moon” on major digital streaming platforms and follow EL Yinmi’s official channels for upcoming announcements.
