Oluwa Ese is Ryan Ofei’s heartfelt new single, a powerful expression of gratitude rooted in both personal reflection and spiritual depth.
“Oluwa Ese” is a phrase in Yoruba, a language spoken in southwestern Nigeria and parts of West Africa that translates to “Thank you, God”. Written during a quiet moment of worship in Toronto, the song was born out of Ryan’s desire to give thanks after a year of breakthrough and restoration.
The melody came first—simple, soulful, and meditative—followed by lyrics that echo a sincere “thank you” to God for grace through every season. Produced with a blend of Afro-gospel textures and cinematic layered vocal elements, Oluwa Ese offers a moment of reflection and reverence, inviting listeners to join in a song of thanksgiving.
Ryan is making a profound impact on contemporary soul, gospel, and afrobeats. With Restore, Ofei’s June 2024 debut album, he achieved remarkable solo success, amassing over 15 million streams. The album’s fusion of soul, gospel, pop, afrobeats, and R&B is celebrated in standout tracks like “Celebrate” and “Baba.” Ofei promises to deliver more hits this year.
