Nigerian singer and songwriter Diamond Jimma marks September 11 with a thanksgiving record titled “WAWO,” dedicated entirely to praising God.
This one moves in a different direction from his June single “Alamo.” Where that record leaned into street-pop energy and personal struggle, Diamond Jimma describes “WAWO” himself as a new psalm, dedicated to glorifying God for His love and wonders. That shift shows real range beyond the street-influenced sound he’s built his name on.
The core of the record stays focused on gratitude throughout, and Diamond Jimma invites listeners to join him in recognizing what he’s grateful for rather than keeping the message purely personal. Because the arrangement lets vocal performance and religious poetry carry the song, nothing here buries the message under unnecessary complexity.
Diamond Jimma has built a following around personal writing that connects everyday hardship, ambition, and reflection to real experience. A dedicated thanksgiving release fits naturally into that same catalogue, offering longtime listeners another side of his perspective.
