Pelumi Deborah, a rising voice celebrated for her seamless blend of traditional Yoruba sounds with contemporary worship, has released her latest single, “BAAMI” (My Father). Embracing her identity as “Omo’ba”—meaning “child of a king”—Pelumi Deborah finds the ultimate expression of this title in a track that serves as a direct, intimate ode to the Divine. Adding to the depth of the release, she is joined by the legendary TY Bello, whose signature warmth creates a serene atmosphere that offers immediate calm to the listener.
The song is deeply rooted in the promise of Psalm 91:2, with lyrics that frame trust not just as a belief, but as a total surrender. “BAAMI” serves as an honest admission that navigating life’s complexities alone is an impossible feat. Through their evocative performances, the artists explore the necessity of handing over one’s emotions, will, and entire soul to a higher care. Beyond this personal surrender, the track acts as a powerful plea for divine protection over reputation and destiny, with the poignant refrain: “Father, I don’t know the way, but I trust the One who does.”
The collaboration between Pelumi Deborah and TY Bello represents a significant generational bridge in Nigerian gospel music. Both artists are united by a shared desire to seek refuge in God, and their vocal chemistry highlights a mutual commitment to spiritual authenticity. The track invites listeners to pause, reflect, and find safety in the knowledge that they are cared for by a Father who is also a King.
As Afrogospel and contemporary worship continue to resonate with global audiences, “BAAMI” stands out as a sincere prayer for grace to be the final word in every life situation. The production allows the message of trust and protection to remain at the forefront, creating a space for listeners to find solace and strength.
“BAAMI” is now available on all major streaming platforms via ONErpm.
