Review
“Imela,” meaning *Thank You* in Igbo, is a soul-stirring worship anthem by the renowned Nigerian gospel minister Nathaniel Bassey featuring the soothing vocals of Enitan Adaba. Over the years, the song has become a global worship classic—sung in churches, prayer gatherings, and personal devotion spaces across continents.
The song beautifully blends English and Igbo to express profound gratitude to God. From the very first note, listeners are ushered into a place of reverence, humility, and deep reflection on the mercy and grace of God. Nathaniel Bassey's heartfelt trumpet, combined with the song’s gentle piano and string arrangement, creates an atmosphere that feels both holy and intimate.
Enitan Adaba’s warm and soothing voice adds a layer of purity and calm that elevates the song’s emotional depth. Her simplicity and sincerity make every lyric feel personal, making “Imela” a worship experience rather than just music.
Lyrically, the song is a testimony of God's mercy—recognizing that we are unworthy, yet recipients of His unconditional love. It resonates with believers who have experienced God’s faithfulness in seasons of difficulty, restoration, healing, and breakthrough.
More than a decade after its release, “Imela” remains a timeless masterpiece—an altar of gratitude that continues to draw hearts to God. Its simplicity, depth, and worshipful sincerity make it one of the most impactful gospel songs of this generation.
