Ivorian singer wordsofAzia shares Oyè Wossô single

A reflection on resilience and hope, the track follows the growing success of her last single ‘Lagô’ featuring Yao Rose, which has garnered over 140 000 streams on Spotify since its release two months ago.

‘Oyè Wossô’, which translates to “he has risen” features a unique blend of jazzy elements, traditional African rhythms, and African influences. It draws from wordsofAzia’s traditional Bhété chants to capture the beauty of renewal.

The song stresses that after the darkest nights, the sun will always rise, offering a message of hope and perseverance. The track is divided into two distinct parts. The first half celebrates the inevitability of dawn, while the second part shifts to personal affirmations, offering understanding and encouragement to listeners, and reminding them of the inner light that resides within.

“This song is a message of healing and strength,” wordsofAzia, whose artistic identity draws from a passion for songwriting, poetry, and spirituality, said. “It’s about knowing that we are never alone in our struggles and that divine support is always with us.”

Writing in both English and Bété, wordsofAzia is also behind tracks like ‘Glory’ and ‘In My Blood’.
