If royalty had a rhythm, it would sound like Princess Wonda. Crowned the Queen of Afro Fusion, this U.K.-born Nigerian powerhouse made a grand entrance with her 2021 debut album Fantasy Fair, weaving together African musical tapestries alongside icons like Awilo Longomba and 1da Banton. Now, she’s back—and “No Yawa” proves her throne is unshaken.
“No Yawa” is a bold, feel-good anthem laced with resilience. From the first beat, it rides in on a smooth yet assertive Afrobeat groove—equal parts sleek and grounded. The production is polished but organic, allowing percussive textures and warm basslines to guide the track forward with a quiet strength. The rhythm has worldliness, like Lagos on a London rooftop.
Princess Wonda’s vocal performance is commanding and comforting. She delivers each lyric with clarity and composure, threading determination through her tone as she sings about keeping her focus and silencing distractions. There’s no need for theatrics—her confidence speaks volumes in every note. It’s a delivery that uplifts without preaching, rooted in lived truth.
More than a song, “No Yawa” is a mantra for anyone navigating the noise of ambition. It’s fearless, grounded, and full of grace—just like the woman behind the mic. And if this is your first time hearing Princess Wonda, consider it your royal welcome.
