Stepping away from romance in “Se Ope”, Wande Coal moves the focus to gratitude and spirituality. He looks back at how far he’s come, giving thanks for the blessings and the guidance that got him here.
There’s a reflective tone, but it’s bright and joyful; he mixes traditional sounds with modern Afropop, and the result feels uplifting. Throughout it all, he reminds you of the power of prayer and the importance of staying grounded.
