Nigerian Afro-House queen Niniola closes her 2024 album “Press Play” with “Komiyo,” a victorious anthem that will leave you feeling grateful and unstoppable. The song is her testimony about overcoming doubt, insults, and obstacles that people said would break her. She sings about being lifted when she was down, climbing mountains that seemed impossible, and proving wrong everyone who said nothing good would come from her life.
We all know what it’s like when people count you out, and God shows up to silence them. “Komiyo” by Niniola is for anyone who’s still standing despite what they said.
