Kotrell releases “Wonda,” an ode to divine love & Ijaw heritage

Kotrell has wrapped up a year of intimate releases with his newest single, “Wonda”. Following tracks like “Safe” and “Misbehave,” this latest offering pivots to a deep, joyful experience of love, grounding the emotion in the Afro-soul and R&B artiste’s Ijaw heritage.

“Wonda” is a tender, yet vibrant, expression of awe that captures the moment when affection feels like a gift of grace rather than chance. The song’s opening line sets the tone: “Who never see miracle, come and see”. Kotrell goes on to describe his partner as a “miracle,” his “missing rib,” whose presence transcends logic, money, or language. The chorus, “Wonda, Wonda, issa miracle o,” functions as a repeated, quiet prayer of thanks for a feeling too expansive for simple explanation.

A moment of personal and spiritual sincerity arrives in the bridge, where Kotrell slips into his native Ijaw dialect with “Tamuno imiete” (“God, thank you”). The production supports this heartfelt message, merging Afropop rhythms with gentle, highlife-inspired melodies. Light guitar lines, steady percussion, and warm harmonies create a celebratory and intimate atmosphere. With a voice described as smooth, patient, and expressive, Kotrell shares this secret of quiet wonder for everyone to hear
