Song of the Day: Like Dat! – Worship Yakubu

Dulo Yakubu – better known by her fans as WORSHIP YAKUBU – penned her latest single, ‘Like Dat!’ during a difficult period in her life. It’s a personal reminder that no matter what obstacles life presents, God remains a guiding light through the darkest moments – and with his love, she can do anything her heart desires.

Firmly rooted in her instantly recognisable Afrobeats sound, fused with smooth, soulful R&B flair, ‘Like Dat!’ showcases Worship Yakubu’s emotional depth and music versatility. The single is now available across all leading platforms.

Known for having distinctive vocals, Worship Yakubu gained wide recognition after her performance on Nigerian Idol, Season Ten, where she made it into the top seven and for her impressive performance, she received the gold ticket. Before that, she won SAVE 2019 and Shabbat 2019, placed in the top ten for Big Break Moments in Africa, and has received several awards along the way.

Her stage name – Worship Yakubu – comes from her ability to connect deeply with people from all walks of life. Her motto is simple but powerful: her love is not just a song; it’s a testament to her belief in spreading love and positive vibrations through her music – and that love connects with so many people because it reminds them that, no matter what they’re going through, there is someone out there who genuinely loves them.

A powerful reflection of her strength and resilience, ‘Like Dat!’ is available for your pleasure across all leading platforms.

Gena Perala shares reflective single, ‘Baby Girl’

GENA PERALA returns with ‘Baby Girl’, a tender, wandering single about youth, time, and the people we become along the way.

At its core, ‘Baby Girl’ explores a universal truth: we never quite feel as old as we are, and life moves faster than expected. Built on reflective verses and a chorus that balances innocence with emerging wisdom, the song moves between the baby girl we once were and the person we’re still becoming.

Perala’s lyrics are quietly profound, conversational, and slyly charming:

“Here’s to life and here’s to luck / sky ain’t falling so there’s no need to duck”
“All I know is I don’t know much / But I’ll try anything once”

“It’s one of the first songs I ever wrote,” Perala says. “A bit of a rambler, but a really sweet one. It’s about how fast time goes by, how you keep trying, and the people you want to keep moving with. Fans have been asking for this one for years, so it just felt right to finally release it.”

‘Baby Girl’ is now available on all major streaming platforms.
