Unarguably, a great music to start the year has got to be Aramide’s Odun Tuntun. Done mostly in Yoruba Language but with stanzas in English language, this is a song that transcends language barrier.
Odun Tuntun serves as a rendition of heartful prayer to God for a beautiful, bountiful, boundless and blessed New Year. I remember putting it on replay for a couple of hours into the New Year, if this is your first time of hearing it, I urge you to do the same.
Its cool flow endears me and its simple video ensures you do not loose the message in the song.

Odun Tuntun Lyrics:

Chorus:
Tami lore L’odun tuntun
Se mi lore L’odun tuntun
Da bore bomi, fife re kemi

Home coming for so many
To share laughter and memories
Tender moments and simple things
There’s peace of mind
Just say a prayer

Light up the trees light up your heart’s
