Vibing on repeat with Anendlessocean
My brother (@yinjuolu) has a thing for putting his favourite songs on endless repeat, but this time I vibed really hard with some of the songs by one interesting artist. I didn't think to check any of the songs or the artist out until he went away for a few days, then I realised that I had grown to love the songs. And now I have had them on repeat for a long time. Here are my top three.
Anendlessocean. I found the artist's name to be very interesting. I wondered why he didn't use his name, or something conventional, and then what it means to him. All his bio read was "In service," which further piqued my curiosity. I liked it, though. The two words are enough to speak of what he, Anendlessocean (AEO) is doing with his music.
Alone
My favourite line in this song is "O yo mi, o yo mi," meaning "It satisfies me, It satisfies me" in Yoruba. And it is not only for the way it sounds in the song, but what it actually means for me, that the presence of the Lord is enough, and that it satisfies.
Why I love this song very much, as well as many of AEO's songs, is the energy I feel when I listen to it. I always have my head grooving to the song each time I listen to it. And it is even sweeter to me because it has some Yoruba words in it, giving it a homely feeling.
Alakori
Alakori is a Yoruba term for a stubborn person. In the song by Anendlessocean, he describes his passion for following Jesus anywhere as being an alakori, recognising in faith that he is covered no matter what may...
With you I do not feel discomfort (hmm hmm hmm umm)
I do not fear, I do not feel bad luck
Yea you've got all of my devotion (hmm hmm hmm umm)
From your sweetest touch, I would'nt run
The chorus is the juiciest part for me. He mostly eulogises God in a very, say, electrifying way. It is a rather interesting musical way to call the names of God in the Yoruba language.
Adunbalo, Oluso, Olorun Isaki
Olugbala, Olulana, kon fin me
Adunbalo, Oluso, Olorun Isaki
Olugbala, Olulana, kon fin me
Adunbalo is simply used to describe a person that is "sweet" to walk with. Oluso describes a person that watches and guards. Olorun means God, while Isaki is Isaac, hence God of Isaac. Olugbala is saviour, Olulana is waymaker, and "kon fin me" is a pidgin way of saying "come find me."
The instrumentals in the song is another reason why it hits HARD. I'm not sure how to aptly describe it, so I'll leave you to have your firsthand experience by listening to it.
Be
You see this one... You see this one... It gets me very energetic and pumped. I actually get up when it's on and begin dancing all the steps that I have no idea their origins. And in my eyes, I am the baddest dancer in this universe. Then at the top of my voice, I would be singing the lyrics, especially this part...
Je’n jebi
(Bata toh wo sese, aso toh wo Sara)
Je’n jebi o ooo
(Angeli malaika, your only desire)
My meli my my lover
(Bata toh wo sese, aso toh wo Sara)
In awe of your persona
(Angeli malaika, your only desire)
Won’t leave you for no other
That’s now until forever
Which translates to...
Let me be like
(The shoes you wear on your feet, the cloth you wear on your body)
Let me be like
(Angelic spirit, your only desire)
I mean, all of the lyrics of the song are just smooth, but what I am saying is that this one makes me dance.
But if I'm being honest
I actually love all of Anendlessocean's songs. I have listened to all of them available on Spotify, including the ones by other artists he was featured in. There's Love Practitioner, Bire, and Ji that are also my favourites.
Anendlessocean already ranked high as one of my favourite Nigerian musicians. He does Christian music in a different, fresh, and exciting way to me. Interestingly, I have heard from people that we look alike. One even argued with me that they were my songs because the image of him they saw looked just like me. I could understand why, considering the hairstyle mostly, but we definitely have opposite types of voices, and he's even way taller than me.
Anyway. Here's my entry to this week's Three Tune Tuesday by @ablaze with my top songs from AEO. If you want to indulge yourself in more from AEO, you may check out this Spotify playlist

I love putting songs on repeat too and my siblings complain about it a lot because they don't do my style, they love it noisy and crazy.
This guy, I haven't heard of me. I might know his songs but the name doesn't sound familiar. With your testimonies about his songs, I don't have a choice than to check him out.
Thanks for sharing these amazing songs with us.
Sir, I think I am afraid of your siblings now. 😁
I think he is underrated. Well, you know him now. You may go enjoy yourself with his songs, sir.
You've got my attention friend. My love for gospel music is endless. I am heading down to AEO rightaway. How come I never knew about him. Thanks so much. I'll give feedback.
He's underrated - that's how you never heard of him all the while. Now, listen away and enjoy yourself, fren!
This is my first time hearing of him. I had to go to YouTube to listen to some of his songs before coming back to comment.
I must say that his songs are calm and soothing 😄. Thanks for introducing me to another interesting artist.
You're welcome! Enjoy yourself with AEO's songs.
🤗
You guys really look alike!!!!
Damn! Jesus! I’m a sucker for fire beats and electrifying music, and this is soooo beautiful. This is so different. Listening to this one…. Oh MY GOD!!! I’m mind blown!!!! Woooooohoooooooooo!
I need more artists and songs like this 🥹. Jesus. I want to cry. This is beautiful… so beautiful Jay! I have no words. Only my body that’s dancing and vibing can tell you how much this makes me feel.
This “Be”, is it a love song?🥹 Goodness! It’s so hard… beautifully hard!
Omoh… I bow. I bow no be small
Lol, I was about to come and comment this.
You have been initiated into the gang. 😁 I can't even deny...
Information is just reaching you. You've been missing something, and I was sent to you.
That's the thing about his songs - they are actually love songs...but to God!
Be is actually a gospel song like the others.
I can imagine you listening on repeat like me. That's what we're talking about.
It’s playing even now lol 😂
Eii 🥹, I always listen to my song on repeat, I will literally have to hear someone complain sometimes for me to change it or I’m maybe ready to do something that requires my music to end.
@yinjuolu has a great taste for music too, I like that, hehe. It’s good to see you got to like this artist thanks to him always listening to his songs on repeat. And now you’ve shared them with us 💃🥳.
I literally love all the songs you shared and I was listening to them while reading your write up, it was how you kept saying the things I had in mind about every song.
I do have Spotify but since I don’t have premium and I love listening to my songs on repeat, I will have to download these songs so I can listen to them without disruptions 😌.
Thank you so much for sharing Jay, it’s been a while I read a ttt post and I totally enjoyed this one 🥰
We are similar on this 😂
Thank youu. I find music to be really comforting and to put me in the right spirit or frame of mind for what I want to do.
You are welcome for the song suggestions that he heard from me 😄😅
Yeah, we are indeed similar in that aspect, hehe.
I just downloaded 5 of his songs 😅and I’m listening to gratitude now 🌚.
You’re welcome, you are actually deserve some appreciation, hehe

It's like you and I will fight everyday as neighbors, Hope. 😁
I'm surprised how great his taste for music actually is, considering that he was learning work from me many years ago.
Now we're talking! That was the premium experience.
So you do have Spotify. Enjoy yourself all the way, Hope. You already know that you're in for a treat. I only wonder which of his songs will turn out to be your favourite. 😉
That fight will only end when I move out 😂.
Now I just download my songs oo, hehe
I don’t enjoy using Spotify again, maybe I’d use it for podcasts but not to listen to songs until I have premium 😌
My favorite is Alakori but I enjoy listening to all of them
Honestly, I never heard the name Anendlessocean. But the songs sound quite good.
I love the way you wrote about how you found Anendlessocean's songs interesting and how he sings Christian songs in a new and interesting way.
Your top 3 are really wonderful choices. They will all definitely go into my top 5.
I loved reading every part of this post, and even though I have heard all of them before, I took my time to watch the YouTube videos you added to your post and waited till the end 😅
What can I say? It is the Yinju effect! 😎
Bring more fire songs when you're back, sir.
😂 the Yinju effect o 😂
Don't worry. I have them packed here already. Waiting to deliver 😂
That is the yinju effect 😎
Aye, sir! 🫡😁
