Omawumi has never just been a singer—she’s a vessel of feeling. From heartbreak to healing, her voice has carried the weight of stories many are too afraid to tell. Rising from her Project Fame roots into one of Nigeria’s most respected vocalists, Omawumi has long mastered the art of emotional storytelling. But with her latest single, “In Love,” she turns a new page—not one of pain, but peace.
“In Love” is soft in the way only lived-through love can be. It’s not hurried, not loud—it breathes, it settles. From the very first line—“You know it’s a long time I’ve been feeling your love / Hurry up and get me, I’ll be on my way home”—Omawumi delivers comfort in every note. This isn’t a song about falling headfirst into romance; it’s about coming home to it.
She doesn’t shy away from the journey it took to get here. “Nothing I never see, nothing I never hear / Breakfast was serving me / Heartbreak for every year…” These lyrics are weary, honest, and relatable. But what makes “In Love” so powerful is the contrast—the quiet joy of finding a love that makes all those heartbreaks worth it. One that feels, in her own words, “made in the movies.”
There’s a cinematic quality to this track—lush, emotional, yet grounded. Omawumi sings of longing, arrival, and deep reassurance. “I just want to lay my head upon your shoulder” becomes more than a lyric—it’s a declaration of safety and surrender.
With “In Love,” Omawumi isn’t chasing hits. She’s offering healing. It’s a reminder that even after the roughest chapters, there’s a verse, a chorus, a melody waiting to restore you.
This is Omawumi at her finest: raw, reflective, and resoundingly real.
