About Timaya’s Gratitude Album

Even though Timaya has released bigger albums, “Gratitude” Album is his most introspective project for 14 years. The Nigerian super star and veteran singer has been in our face producing hit after hit and nailing his impact into the consciousness of American Grammy winner, Cardi B.
He has told his true story as a ‘plantain Boy’ with immense faith in God, he has spoken about life Anagaga and showed ‘Gratitude’ for his journey and he has told ‘Malonogedi’, while inspiring us to shake our ‘Bum Bum’. He has also rebranded from ‘Dem mama’ to DM and became papichulo or chulo for short.
All the while, his ploy has been to make us feel good Afro pop music the best way he can. His story and style of music is also one of the least criticized because Timaya is never going to change and there is no reason to expect him to change, but here, there is a slight change.
His latest album Gratitude comes on the heels of welcoming his third child with the stunning Dunnie. On L.O.V.E, it seems Timaya makes music for Dunnie aboard a Reggae beat.
“Gratitude” is a Timaya album filled with feel good Afro pop music, but this time his topics are from a more mature, calmer introspective and inspired Timaya. The music is enjoyable and calmer. In that spirit, Timaya sings “me I no de do gra gra”.
Commendably, he also bravely goes through the tracks by himself, while the album has some vibes, Timaya stands tall and speaks resonant truths into the entire spirit of his album. He is still energetic but his experience and veteran status shows in his music and he openly projects that.
Timaya articulates the right stories and shows the reason for his gratitude. This is a story of residence, Providence, pain and success from a veteran Nigerian super star. Even though Timaya has released bigger albums, Gratitude is his most introspective. It adequately reflects Timaya’s current stance in life and largely reveals a different side of him.
The album contains the following tracks:Born To Win, Don Dada, Something Must Kill A Man, I Can’t Kill Myself, Iberibe and L.O.V.E others are Local N Bougie, Gra Gra, Chulo Bothers Nobody, The Mood, No Limit and Okaka.
