Gospel singer Ty Bello brings Sinmidele, Nosa and Ellie Scotte together on a vibrant record titled “Oba Alanu.” It’s the fourteenth track on her “I Speak Lamb” album.
The title is Yoruba for merciful king, so the song is all about praise for God’s kindness. A live worship session at Laterna Books also featured the song. That session had many voices, so the song still feels like a gathering.
Gentle percussion and soft keys set a calm pace, while the voices stay upfront. The mix keeps the praise clear, so every line is easy to catch. Ellie Scotte brings a bright edge, so the chorus lifts. Together, the harmonies make the praise feel full.
This one works because mercy is a theme everyone understands. Although the language is Yoruba, the mood speaks clearly to everyone.
