Bayelsa-based worship leader Mera Owili drops a joyful new one titled “Give Am Praise,” and it’s exactly what the title promises.
She’s no stranger to this lane. Owili built her name on records like “Nana-owei Mbana,” pulling from Ijaw language and Niger Delta gospel tradition, and this new single keeps that same thread going. But where her older cuts leaned into slower testimony-style worship, this one moves with more bounce. It’s built for a congregation on its feet, not just seated in reflection.
The production sits somewhere between contemporary gospel and African praise, with rhythm doing a lot of the heavy lifting. Percussion drives the track forward, giving it that call-and-response energy churches thrive on. Nothing about the arrangement feels overdone. It just gives Owili’s voice room to lead.
And lead she does. Her vocals carry that same anointed weight her fans already know, powerful without straining for effect. She doesn’t just perform gratitude here, she insists on it as a lifestyle, not a reaction to good news. That’s the whole point of the song, really. Praise isn’t conditional, it’s constant.
Give Am Praise works because Owili keeps things simple. She’s not chasing a crossover moment or a radio remix. She’s making music for the altar, the car ride, and everywhere in between believers need a reminder to lift their voice.
