Duration: 4 Minutes 19 Seconds
Date of Release: 10 April, 2026
Nigeria’s alternative soul singer and multi-instrumentalist Bez Idakula teams up with vibrant gospel creative EmmaOMG on “Yabo (Praise),” a record that leans into gratitude without forcing the moment. Known for his calm, introspective delivery and projects like Super Sun, Bez brings a reflective tone here, while EmmaOMG adds a lively, expressive layer shaped by his background in praise-driven content.
“Yabo,” a Hausa word for “praise,” frames the song’s direction from the start it’s not loud for the sake of celebration, but intentional in its acknowledgment of God’s faithfulness. The instrumentation stays warm and uncluttered, allowing the message to breathe, while both artists move between sincerity and joyful expression without losing balance. Rather than chasing intensity, the song settles into appreciation recognizing everyday grace, quiet wins, and the kind of help that often goes unnoticed. It’s the kind of praise that feels lived-in, not performed.
What does this kind of calm, reflective praise sound like to you?
