Ayanfe is a track from Diamond Jimma's Akanbi EP, released September 18, 2025. The 7-track project is Diamond Jimma's most developed body of work to date and Ayanfe sits as one of its standout moments. In Yoruba, ayanfe means beloved or chosen one — a term of deep endearment — and the song uses that emotional weight as its foundation. Diamond Jimma has been building steadily through a series of independent releases and the Akanbi EP represents a significant step up in ambition and execution.
The production gives the track a warm, melodic texture that suits the title. Diamond Jimma's vocal delivery is controlled and sincere — he does not oversell the emotion, which is often the mark of a maturing artist learning when to hold back. The EP as a whole showcases range across its 7 tracks and Ayanfe is the moment where the romantic sensibility at the heart of his music is most clearly expressed.
