Diamond Jimma pushes his name further into Nigerian music with a record built for slow evenings. The song is called “Esteri,” and it finds the singer and songwriter working in a lane he seems comfortable in. The title carries a warmth to it, and that mood runs through the record.
There is not much detail floating around about how “Esteri” came together, so I won’t pretend to know the studio story behind it. What is clear is that Diamond Jimma is sticking with the sound that has been shaping his output, blending contemporary Afrobeats with storytelling that leans personal rather than loud.
That combination is the draw here. The rhythm gives the song its movement, while the writing gives it something to hold onto. It is not a track that tries too hard to impress. Instead, it settles into a groove and lets the melody and the emotion carry the weight, which suits a listener who wants something to sit with rather than rush past.
If that sounds like your kind of thing, give Diamond Jimma – “Esteri” a spin and drop your thoughts in the comments.
