Kenyan music star Bahati returns to gospel with “Uinuliwe,” a thanksgiving single released after more than a year away.
He announced it on Instagram on November 4, 2026, and premiered it at 8 p.m. that evening. In his own words, it had been over a year without a new song. As his big day approached, he felt he needed to write a gratitude letter to the Lord. So the song works as a personal thank-you rather than a typical single.
The timing carries extra meaning. Bahati and Diana Marua held their wedding, which he called “The Bahatis’ Big Day,” on Friday, November 6, 2026, after a decade together. The release landed two days before. That placement turns the song into a prelude for a major family moment.
The message celebrates God’s faithfulness, protection, mercy, and grace. It gives thanks for strength and guidance through different seasons. It also reconnects Bahati with the gospel roots that first built his career. He spent a long stretch releasing secular music, so the return feels deliberate.
He addressed the audience directly in his announcement, speaking to his “Day 1 gospel fans.” That wording shows who the song is really for. Those who followed him from his early gospel days now get a fresh reason to listen.
