Emem who recently stirred attention with her hit songs I Believe and Amanam, brought a blend of praise and worship into the spotlight.

In her music videos, directed by the skilled Jonathan Melgas, Emem’s vision and artistry unfold, merging stunning visuals with messages of hope and joy.

I Believe shines as a song of encouragement, urging listeners to reach for greatness, while Amanam, an expression of gratitude in Emem’s Ibibio language, celebrates life’s blessings with scenes and energetic performances.

The debut EP, Love and Gratitude, is crafted with an Afrocentric jazz influence, showcasing a fusion of West and Central African sounds that resonates far beyond Nigeria.
