‎Published Author, Relationship Coach, and Gospirational Singer Anietie Bature is thrilled to announce the release of her highly anticipated new single “Afo Amanam”, a heartfelt song of gratitude inspired by her life’s journey and God’s sustaining grace.
‎
‎Born out of personal testimony, “Afo Amanam” reflects on overcoming uncertainties, recognising divine providence and giving thanks to God for redemption, protection, and provision. Anietie shares those difficult seasons, including losing her father, dealing with her children’s health challenges, and facing career uncertainties, which not only inspired the song, but deepened her gratitude to God, who she believes saw her through every moment.
‎
‎”From university I had a scholarship, in my masters I had a scholarship. If you were to go with how much my family had, I had no business doing a masters especially outside the country. But God had mercy”, says Anietie.
‎
‎Meaning “You’ve Done It” in Ibibio, a major coastal ethnic group in Southern Nigeria, primarily residing in Akwa Ibom State, Afo Amanam is a soulful, acoustic-driven blend of folk, gospel, and soul. The new single features raw, organic instrumentation – acoustic guitar, pedal steel, and a fusion of jazz – all built around intimate, soul-searching vocals.
‎
‎Afo Amanam was produced by Ugbesia Itua Fortune, features backing vocals from her band members, and released with the support of her husband, Kingsley Bature, who she describes as her biggest cheer leader.
