Nigerian Afro-gospel singer John Fadejola continues his prolific 2026 pace with a self-produced single, “We Will Wait Today,” following August’s “Let Me Lead.”
The idea is in the special spiritual posture of patient anticipation—deciding to wait on God’s timing instead of getting ahead of it. But Fadejola doesn’t take it lying down. “We Will Wait Today” is not surrender; it is a proclamation. The reframing is what makes this record different from a generic patience-themed religious tune.
Self-creation is important here as well. Fadejola handles the whole creative vision from performance to arrangement. This way the record sounds exactly the way he heard it in his own thoughts instead of some compromise by outside producers. That ownership provides “We Will Wait Today” an identity and a focus that shines through.
His debut album “The Mandate” has already surpassed one million plays on Audiomack. So this single has tremendous audience momentum behind it. “Emmanuel (Esé)” and records like that laid the groundwork. But the steady September output, one single after another without missing a beat, shows an artist who treats his vocation as a prolonged commitment and not an occasional release.
For Nigerian gospel fans who appreciate artists that show up regularly and mean what they sing, John Fadejola continues to deliver on both fronts.
