Released in 2014, Epiphany served as a confident statement from Timaya, affirming his dominance in the Afro-Dancehall space. With twenty tracks (including bonuses), the album is an ambitious and diverse body of work that showcases his ability to move seamlessly between genres while maintaining his signature ragga-influenced cadence.
The album is best summarized as a high-energy dance party laced with moments of self-analysis and gospel-tinged affirmation, noticeably on the opening song, “Bow Down”. Songs like the street anthem “Sanko” and the previously released hit “Ukwu” reinforced his position as the “Dance Hall King”.
The album is also rich with high-profile collaborations, featuring major Nigerian acts such as 2Baba (Tuface), Olamide, Patoranking, Phyno, and veteran Sir Shina Peters, alongside international appeal via the “Bum Bum Remix” with Sean Paul. The consistent quality of the production and Timaya’s energetic delivery ensure that Epiphany scales above average, solidifying his talent and enduring presence in Nigerian popular music.
