Lydia Nabawanuka, known to most as Lydia Jazmine, has grown into one of East Africa’s most
recognisable voices, moving between R&B, Afro-pop, and dancehall with ease. Her music carries warmth
and clarity, shaped by years of refining her sound and trusting her instincts. With each release, she leans
further into a style that is both personal and widely felt.
Her new single “Ameenallah” opens with gratitude. She calls on Amina Allah, grounding herself in faith
before anything else. From there, the song moves into love, soft and present. She speaks to her partner
with admiration, drawn in by what she sees and what she feels. The melody moves into a space of
gratitude and affection, where she speaks directly to a partner with clear admiration. She weaves in
memories of her upbringing, honouring the values her parents passed down while acknowledging the
quiet strength those lessons provide.
There is a calm assurance in how she sings about grace and protection. Her voice stays steady as she
returns to her belief, repeating it until it feels settled. “This song is about knowing where your strength
comes from,” she says. “When you have that, everything else becomes clear.”
“Ameenallah” is now available on all streaming platforms via ONErpm.
