One by Tiwa Savage is a song of prayer in readiness for a New Year where we will be counted amongst those who have truly been blessed. This is a song you are supposed to not over-introduce or over-describe before it begins.

In truth, we cannot oversell this song to you, but at the same time, as someone who doesn’t understand Yoruba language, you would just have to enjoy the melody with the knowledge that this is a song that is all about a better, bigger and bountiful year ahead of you.

Enjoy Mama JamJam at her finest.
