Nigerian singer Bishop, born Chinedu Joseph Odiaka, explores perseverance and the realities of navigating difficult times on his new single, “Water Don Pass Garri.”
Based in Port Harcourt and originally from Eastern Nigeria, the independent artist draws on a familiar Nigerian expression to frame the song’s central message. “Water don pass garri” is commonly used to describe situations that have become overwhelming or difficult to manage, making it a fitting starting point for a record about resilience.
Blending Afrobeats, reggae and R&B influences, Bishop uses relatable storytelling to reflect on life’s uncertainties and the determination required to keep moving forward. Rather than presenting struggle as an isolated experience, the song draws on circumstances many listeners can recognise, centring on hope and perseverance in the face of adversity.
Bishop’s approach is rooted in personal experiences, with his music exploring everyday realities through a combination of African rhythms and uplifting melodies.
“Water Don Pass Garri” is available on streaming platforms.
