“IBA” by Nathaniel Bassey featuring Dasola Akinbule is a soul-stirring worship song that exalts the majesty and sovereignty of God. The word “Iba” means “homage” or “reverence” in Yoruba, and this theme runs deeply through the lyrics as both artists lead listeners into a place of awe and adoration before the Almighty. Nathaniel Bassey’s signature trumpet sounds blend seamlessly with soft piano chords and uplifting choir harmonies, creating a rich spiritual atmosphere. Dasola Akinbule’s vocal delivery adds purity and depth, perfectly complementing Bassey’s warm, reflective tone.
The song captures the essence of sincere worship, focusing on the greatness and holiness of God without distraction. Listeners are drawn into a quiet but powerful reverence that shifts attention away from personal needs and places it squarely on honoring the Creator. “IBA” stands out not only for its lyrical simplicity but also for its production quality, making it a timeless addition to gospel music playlists and worship gatherings around the world.
