Femi and the Foundation process grief with hope on new single "Letting Go"

Femi and the Foundation’s first single from their 2025 project, “Wrong Side of the Sun,” is a moving and deeply human look at loss, memory, and the complicated beauty of moving forward. “Letting Go” is a profound moment for the soul that speaks to everyone in both personal and universal ways.

Lead singer Olufemi Taiwo wrote the song to help him deal with the death of someone he loved. Then it becomes a bigger picture of how people suffer together, and it serves as a helpful roadmap for those who need comfort, healing, or the strength to keep going when things get tough. This shows the quiet strength that comes from choosing to be strong instead of giving up.

This song is about honoring what you’ve lost enough to make it easier to carry. Femi and the Foundation skillfully find that balance, turning sadness into sound, thought into rhythm, and weakness into art. “Letting Go” recognizes the pain but moves toward understanding, showing that what breaks us can also show us what is essential to keep.

You are invited to a place of remembrance and renewal, where grief becomes a new beginning, and they can keep going, generate new ideas, and shape their life on purpose. It shows that 2025 will also be a year of healing, connection, and honesty about their feelings.
