Nigerian artist Diamond Jimma celebrates September 11, 2026, with the dropping of “WAWO,” a thanksgiving record he describes as a new psalm to praise God for His love and miracles.
The core of the album is thanksgiving, and Diamond Jimma encourages listeners to join him in recognizing what God has done for him. It follows his June hit, “Alamo,” but moves more directly to the themes of praise and thanksgiving.
The music of the song is very much in service of the message, letting the vocal performance and religious poetry carry the album without burying its goal under needless intricacy. That directness feels right for a release that’s meant to be sung along to by listeners.
Diamond Jimma has created a sizable following around personal writing and records that connect everyday events to faith, hardship and reflection. So a dedicated thanksgiving release fits seamlessly into his discography, while giving longstanding listeners another side to the perspective behind his music.
The single is out on all major digital streaming platforms. Give it a listen and tell us what you think in the comments below.
