May Edochie, the estranged wife of Nollywood actor Yul Edochie, is entering 2025 with a powerful statement in the music industry. Known for her resilience and grace in the face of personal and public challenges, May is now stepping into a new chapter of her life. The entrepreneur and influencer has released her debut single, Komole, a track that marks her first major foray into the Nigerian music scene.
The song, which is a collaboration with her close friend and fellow artist Nwando, is deeply influenced by Yoruba culture. The title Komole, which translates to “to bend down” in English, embodies themes of humility, gratitude, and reflection. These cultural elements are woven into the fabric of the track, which aims to offer listeners a meaningful and celebratory musical experience.
In an exclusive interview, May explained the inspiration behind Komole, describing the song as far more than just a musical creation. “Komole is an anthem of thanksgiving,” she shared. “It’s a celebration of faith, resilience, and the grace of God. The song serves as my personal tribute for everything I’ve overcome in 2024 and as a beacon of hope as I welcome 2025.” Her words reflect the deeper, emotional significance she places on the track.
The song’s release is not just about music; it’s about sharing her journey with her audience. May’s fans have been following her closely over the years, witnessing her personal challenges and triumphs. In a heartfelt message accompanying the release, May wrote on her social media, “This song is my thanksgiving offering to God, my celebration of life, love, and the unyielding support from you all. Komole is for everyone who chooses to dance in gratitude, no matter the season.”

Many are eager to see this new side of May and to embrace her musical talent. “The big surprise is here. KOMOLE by QUEEN MAY & NWANDO.
