    Nigerian-American Artist Yinminu Unveils Afrobeats Single  “Spiritual” off Forthcoming Album ‘We Are Not The Same’

    Nigerian-American artist and songwriter Yinminu releases “Spiritual,” the first track from his upcoming multi-genre project WE ARE NOT THE SAME.

    “Spiritual” introduces the emotional core of the project. Blending elements of Afrobeats and alternative R&B, the song centers on clarity, surrender, and the quiet power of being seen when you cannot see yourself. Built around warm vocal layers, steady percussion, and meditative writing, “Spiritual” sets the tone for a body of work focused on growth, identity, and transformation.

    “This song came from a moment where everything finally made sense,” Yinminu shares. “It’s about letting go of what you’re trying to force and allowing yourself to be guided. It’s the feeling of being understood without having to explain.”

    The release marks the beginning of a five-song rollout that spans different genres and emotional chapters. WE ARE NOT THE SAME moves through themes of surrender (“Spiritual”), confidence (“Missed Calls”), heaviness (“Secrets”), emotional transition (“Changes”), and survival (“It’s Not The Same Anymore”). Each track offers a different vantage point on the central idea that transformation, though sometimes uncomfortable, is necessary.

    “Spiritual” was recorded in Oakland with collaborators, Diaspora Boys.; who helped shape its textured, intimate soundscape. The track arrives with striking visuals featuring Yinminu overlooking the Pacific coastline in flowing red fabric; an image that mirrors the song’s energy: calm, powerful, and centered.
