With any body of work, the clue is always in the title. Kingdmusic presents his third offering ‘Perfect Love’. This body of work carries a message of love. It takes one on a different journey roping you in different cultures with different sounds from all over the world. It took him over a year to work on this beautiful body of work.
‘Perfect Love’ is also connected to his previous albums. Debut album ‘Seasons’ was inspired by the tough seasons in Kingdmusic’s life. ‘Denga’ album was about embracing who he is as an African artist. Which brings us to the African inspired sounds on the album and lyrics that point to God’s love amid and having overcome tough seasons.
We are reminded that perfect love doesn’t hold back, it may be imperfect and limited with humans, but God’s love is perfect and unwavering.
“I’ve been experiencing love like no other for the past two years and I just wanted to share it with the world. We hear of bad news every day. My prayer is that this album will bring people closer to God every time they listen to it & also remind them that they are loved”. – Kingdmusic
Today, December 2nd, COGHIVE presents her 2022 Christmas Playlist, the sixth in a series of incredible playlists that have left our devoted audience spellbound and in step with the cadence of the season.
Christmas is a time to celebrate the birth of Jesus Christ and to reflect on how God’s great love for humanity was manifest in the humble form of a baby.
In keeping with tradition, we’ve spent some time selecting songs from the most recent Christmas/Holiday albums to curate playlists flavored by the season’s abundance of ballads, Carols, and other unique kinds of musicals and poetry.
To be honest, we were floored by the overwhelming positive response to our prior playlist and are quite appreciative.
Without a question, this 2022 PLAYLIST is a cut above the others. We look forward to hearing from you and know that you and your loved ones will be richly blessed as a result of listening to it.
Lastly, we hope you and your family never miss out on the spirit of the season.
Rising gospel minister, Bimbo Ponmile has unlocked her long-awaited second studio body of work tagged, ‘Father’.
This comes on the heels of her previously unveiled solo 4-track project, ‘Comforter’ which was released in the latter of 2021.
Through her debut project, Abimbola navigated melodious congregational grooves with a finesse she claims stems from her goal to ‘heal cracks with the instrument of worship.’
She described the project as a feeling of fulfilment – laying emphasis on purpose and assignment.
She also noted, “Seeing the process of creating the album, and all I went through… I feel so honoured to be used by God to make such an impactful piece.”
People described the singer and her project as “a gifted artiste who possesses an intense style of music delivery, which through her solo praise and worship sessions, captures a moment of unifying and distributing healing through her words.”
With an evident display of versatility, Bimbo made her way into the hearts of many music lovers, spawning the results with live ministrations and performing alongside gospel heavyweights like Laolu Gbenjo, and Yinka Alaseyori among others.
In contrast to Comforter which sheds light on how she sees her maker, Bimbo reveals her new project, “Father” encompasses a side of God she has enjoyed and his position in her life.
“This album has my divine and unique sound on it. It encompasses all I have been through. Most importantly the last Album was about who I am to God, this one represents who God is to me.
“This is something different. I have a broader musical scope compared to when I made my first album and I bring that to bear on this new album. If you thought that first album was great, wait till you hear this one,” she explains.
On this eight-track project, guest appearances include, Reverend Deji Olabode, Tkeys, KI, and Toba Oluwaponmile.
Father is a genuine meld of fervent and spirit-felt ministrations, and we are sure you’d love it!
Nigeria female gospel music minister, Bunmi Tasan has finally put together her debut album project with a tagged “Privilege.” The new album is being released with a new single titled “Its a Privilege,” which is yet another track off the 7-track album.
The album captures the innate desires of the Christian who thirsts for more of God. It mirrors that, everything a man accomplishes is given by God.
Sharing on the inspiration and motivation behind the songs, Bunmi Tasan says “Let’s start from “It’s A Privilege song first” this song it’s a product of my divine encounter with my maker, my mentor, and director Holy Spirit, at a time when there was a thirst and desire for more of Him. I engaged in a vigil for a desired change in the journey of my life.
While enjoying His fellowship, I fell asleep, not that deep, because I was still conscious, then suddenly I heard a word from Him, “Whatever height a man attain in his life, It is a privilege by God.”
Right in the dream, the song was delivered to me, immediately I woke up, I picked up my phone and recorded the song. As I was still meditating on the word, God was telling me, attending churches and fellowships is never enough, attending meetings and listening to messages from great Pastors is never enough to gain asses to His presence.”
The songs on this album are revelations and it’s something that will surely bless your heart, the songs are already available on all digital platforms, You can get it here below.

A native of Baton Rouge, Louisiana, Kate grew up singing anywhere she could lend her voice. In 2019, one of her first solo shows was an opportunity to open for Jaci Velasquez. This was a pivotal moment in her blossoming career, as it reaffirmed her passion for songwriting, singing, and ministry.
Since that show, Kate has been honing her craft. She enlisted the talents of two-time GRAMMY nominee, writer/producer Cindy Morgan to help hone Kate’s songwriting and vocal talents, creating an unmistakable signature sound. Kate’s talent has caught the eye of many in leadership in Christian music, and has opened the doors for her to perform at large-scale events such as LifeFest and Big Ticket Festival.
While music is always her passion, her drive doesn’t stop there. As she completes her senior year at The University of Texas, Kate balances her career with her education, staying focused on both her calling as an artist and as a student. She is even looking ahead to applying to law school or an MBA program after graduating to compliment her ministry. She shares, “Finishing my degree is so important to me. With my major, I am learning how to better understand and communicate with people where they are, at any stage in life. With my minor in business, I hope to be able to better shepherd my career and be a good steward of the past that God has placed before me.”

Atlanta, GA — Musicologist and Consultant Kevin Bond is a 10-time Grammy® and Stellar Award-winning producer, songwriter, and music industry veteran who has a monumental forty-year career in music. He is the former VP of A&R for Gospocentric Records in Los Angeles, CA, and former Governor of The Grammys Atlanta Chapter of the Recording Academy. Kevin has produced and written songs for Grammy® Award-winning artists Kirk Franklin, Yolanda Adams, Donnie McClurkin, Oleta Adams, and countless others.
His discography includes contributions to the inspirational original soundtrack for the DreamWorks animated epic film THE PRINCE OF EGYPT, LOVE ALIVE IV by Gospel legend Walter Hawkins, BIBLE STORIES (Donald Lawrence & The Tri-City Singers), AWESOME WONDER (Kurt Carr), THE STORM IS OVER (Bishop T.D. Jakes), OUT THE BOX (Tonéx), TWENTY SIX FOUR (Avery Sunshine), and a vast list of other iconic albums and songs.
Kevin Bond is a musical genius whose ingenuity has helped contour the sonic attributes and commercial success of the Gospel music genre. He has devoted his prowess to Billboard Chart-topping, Gold, and Platinum albums and now takes the spotlight with his first solo album CHRISTMAS EVERYDAY.
“Through the years, I’ve worked for others, guiding their career desires, but this is something that I could do the way I wanted to do it,” Bond explains. “I’ve been thinking about doing a Christmas record for about 20 years. After this pandemic, everyone is looking for something new and fresh. In addition, the pandemic should have birthed something out of us all during that time. So, this was the perfect time for me to do this project.”
With a heartfelt love of Christmas music, Bond wanted to offer an album that would resonate for years to come. CHRISTMAS EVERYDAY is a musical tapestry of holiday classic songs in which everyone can find delight. Bond puts a cool vibe of groove on “The Little Drummer Boy” and offers a jazzy “White Christmas” to set the mood for holiday gatherings. He includes a soulful and soothing version of “O Holy Night” among the fifteen beloved holiday tunes on the album.
“The significance of this record at this time in my career is that I’ve helped others to ascertain and promote their dreams,” says Bond. “I’ve taken a moment to reflect on my career and create a timeless piece. I created a work of legacy and a timestamp for this generation. In 2022, this encapsulates the sound of the atmosphere and will be available for my children’s children.”
Christmas music is special and is an essential part of the holiday season. Music helps usher in celebratory gatherings as we honor the birth of the risen King. Holiday music offers hope and guides us in moments of reflection as we set the tone for the forthcoming new year.
“Christmas music is always joyful, happy and bespeaks glad tidings,” Bond shares. “From the slay bells to the timbers they use, it’s happy, not a lot of minor or dissonant chords – everything is in harmony and reflects how we should live our lives.”
He continues, “I want people to take this mindset and take it throughout the year and not just during these last few days of the year. This album signifies how we should love, care and watch over one another all year long, being overly concerned for one another. That’s why I called the album Christmas Everyday.”
CHRISTMAS EVERYDAY is an album of songs birthed out of love. Through music, Kevin Bond expresses his desire of bringing people together as we have endured the last few years apart and have experienced so much loss. Take time to offer gratitude as we gather with loved ones and worship the Savior and hope of the world.
This extraordinary album full of the sounds of the season is available now on all digital music outlets. Create, save and share your CHRISTMAS EVERYDAY playlist on YouTube, Spotify or Apple Music . You will find your favorites on this album and truly enjoy Christmas every day for many years to come!
